[font "Times New Roman"]I went to Strawberry for the weekend 8/15/08 to 8/17/08. We started the first morning off by drifting in the Renegade area with a worm and other poles with jigs. We caught several nice cutts on the jigs and on the worm right off the bottom. We then moved into another small inlet near Renegade and caught some larger fish. We caught one over 22 and three that were between 18 and 22. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]The next morning I caught three Rainbows at sun up. I then headed over to the docks for a little SCUBA diving. We dove under the docks looking for all the trash that people have dropped off the boats. I could not believe all the trash that is on the bottom of the lake by the docks. I found enough golf balls to start my own driving range. I did find a Spiderman fishing pole and a boat mount pole holder that will get used in the future. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]I did see one large school of Rainbows with about 30 fish. They were all in the 10 inch range. The only other fish I saw were Crawfish by the hundreds. They sure do taste great!!!![/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]All in all it was a good trip. The mornings were cold at about 34 degrees and the water temp was 64. Most fish caught on the trip were in 29 to 40 feet of water. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]I forgot to mention the Bow that got away. He was about 25 inches and 5 pounds. Got him to the net and that was all she wrote. Head turned and away he went laughing out loud. [mad][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]What a great report! [] You combined the greatest activity humanity ever came up with (fishing []) with diving. Sounds like very memorable time. I am glad to see that the night temperatures are starting to fall. I can't wait for winter. [/#000000][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]A few months back my dad and I found a complete diving suit and equipment at the Gorge. I am not sure how to use any of it but would love to learn and start doing a little diving. It also has the oxygen tank attached. [/#000000][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]I would have never thought of diving in Utah lakes. I just got certified and now I love to see what has been under my boat all these years. Now I just need to get a spear gun.[/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]The lake was not that crowded this weekend. The frost on the boats every morning with the heavy fog kept a few people of the lake early mornings. That is when the fish were really biting, first thing in the morning. My hands were freezing but the water felt warm. [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]If you want to get hooked up with SCUBA just shoot me a PM and I know the cheapest place to get certified. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Yep, that is another great thing about winter, less fishing pressure and a better bite. Our best trout fishing has always been in winter or early spring. [/#000000][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]I am surprised you say so many golf balls on the lake bottom. What, do people play golf on their boats? [crazy][/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Over the last few years I have noticed the trash situation at Strawberry ge worse each year. It is very good to know that the cold weather is startig to set in.[/#000000][/font]

You didn't find my buck knife my friend dropped in about 10 years ago did you? Just thought i'd ask, not that you would, rather, i can continue to razz him for dropping it.

Nice report!!!
