i went up to strawberry yesterday and the ice conditions were perfect. in jake's bay there was about 20 ft of open water but over night it refroze over with a very thin layer of ice. so i went over to the ladders and caught a couple of nice cutthroats and then i went to the soldier creek side and found a ton of open water. i fished and caught one in aspen bay. and in the afternoon i went back to Jake's bay and caught one. i cuaght 4 in total. the water is really cold and the fish are not tooactive. by this weekend with some warm weather the fish should be pretty active. i caught three on tube jigs and one really nice one on a red sided shiner. it was a 21 and 1/2 inch cut that was fat and pretty.
Good day but i have seen better. i also ran into a couple of guys from cabelas that werent having any luck either.
