it just right off the main road where the water is back up on the other side edges was good its only 6 to 8 feet deep and the biggest bow we got was 16 inches most was 12 to 14 we did catch 25 or so there and we made several holes the ice was 4 to 6 inches every where i made a hole but keep in mind the area im talking about is only about 150 sq yards of water to start with but its ice and we got fish there was one other person there catching fish there i seen him catch 5 or so

im thinking you was fishing north of hwy 40 in a pond -over flow of lake- and not in the main lake ? i may just be off of what ur are saying ? but i drove by the berry on my way home from a water fowl hunt sat ,and i could see no way that there is 4 inches of ice any way any were on the main lake or bays.

yes the over flow is right and it plenty thick and nothing on the main lake is frozen but it is ice i did fish it and we all got bows

Well technically, that's still part of Strawberry Reservoir, as there is a free-flowing pipe between that pool and the main body. Its level rises and falls with the reservoir.
I was curious about the legality of fishing that spot under general regulations recently and called the DWR inquiring about that.
The enforcement agent I spoke with told me that he would consider it part of the lake and fishing it as you would the Berry would be legal.

I just unchecked the spot where you had the inline box checked. Did you measure that big one, it looks like a nice one.
[signature]
yea the big one was 24.5 nice fish we ended up getting about 80 fish in between the two of us in 5 hours or so and about 6 was over 22 we only keep the bow the cuts after they start getting to that 23 plus inch range they don't taste as good i have been told that this is because their diet changes dont know if its true or not
