Fishing Forum

I had a meeting in Roosevelt this afternoon. I went a little early to try my hand at Strawberry. I chose a spot that took some walking. I found a rocky patch near an inlet and started throwing a spinner. I had some strange and comical things happen today. First off a brown trout??!?! I've never heard of brown trout in the berry



At first I thought it was just a bow, but looking closer it looks like a washed out brown to me. I was pretty ...any thoughts bout how it got there?? [shocked][crazy]

Well I kept following the shore until I found some ice. Finally I found some cutts [cool]This guy came first, and was pretty spotless.



Some more followed closely behind and had more color and spots to em []



Gorgeous!

Another stange occurence was next. A group of guys came to the other side of the little bay I was fishing. The ice was being blown by the wind and was piling up on their shore. One of the guys stepped out onto it....I just started shaking my head [:/][pirate] He walked out about five feet...and fell through up to his chest. He started yelling for his buds and they got him out and almost sprinted for their truck. Poor guy...if he's reading this I'm sorry [:/] That couldn't have felt good, but you added to my day [:p] I wish I woulda thought to ty and video tape it [sly]

There were a few more cuts caught. It's funny to me that some cuts at the berry will actually fight and some are like dragging in a piece of sagebrush. Eh they are beautiful fish nonetheless!!





This next fish was my last and topped off my strange day. I was throwing my Lucky Craft when it suddenly snagged... [frown] I thought I was going to break it off..what an expensive snag! But right as the line was at it's breaking point, the lure gave. I brought it in to find that someone else's line was wrapped around my hooks. I pulled in the line to find this guy with a rusty worm hook in the corner of his mouth. Hmm first time for everything I guess [cool]



It wasn't huge, but somewhat strange

It was a nice couple hours at the Berry [] ...some strange things happened and some very very entertaining ice dancing [fishin]



Life is short...so live it well

I saw one boat launch from renegade. [] There wasn't a ton of room, but it won't be long. Lots of new open water, maybe this weekend[]

I fished the Soldier Creek side today and the boat ramp has open water.
We did good on rainbow rapalas, and caught 13 each for two guys.

Looks like the berry treated you good! I am sure all these berry reports are just killin the BFT brothers and sisters of the north...well at least the ones that are into chasing slimers![] I am sure those boys will never set foot on that kind of ice ever again. Nothing like having a show while you get some fish[laugh][sly][laugh]. Great pictures and good report.....keep them coming!

Thats funny about the ice giving way to that guy. I dont know what it is about water but i always fall in somehow and get a lil wet. Maybe cuz its im fat and clumsy lolololol....

Any thoughts on the brown? Was it just a fluke?? I heard they were fairly common way back when, but I personally haven't seen a brown come out of Strawberry.

All I can say is that I've caught several small browns in creeks all around that area, from Chicken creek to Daniel's, and in the Duchesne some big ones. Just sneaked in, I bet.
