Perhaps the best weather I've ever seen up at Strawberry. The fishing was probably not what I would consider to be hot, but my partner and I caught 8 fish in 8 hours, loosing about 4-5 before the boat. We graphed tons of fish between 20 - 30 feet deep in 40 feet of water at mud creek.
Caught most of the fish trolling a 2.5" white tubes tipped with half a worm 25 feet down.
Later in the afternoon we trolled just past Haws point and picked up 3 with pop gear and a worm.
All the fish caught were cutthroats, all were big enough to be kept, 22+ inches. everything was over 3 lbs.

I was there last week and saw, like you a lot of fish at 20 and 30 ft
but I had my downriggers down at 40' going after the Kokes.
we got 7 kokes and over 20 cuts in 5 hr.at 40', most were over 19in
I had a planer board out trying to get the ones at 20 ft.
but could not catch any. did not use a white tub which I like to use in the fall.

Wow ... can't beat 100% of the fish you caught were slot busters!!!!!!
I've never trolled a tube before. Guess I'll have to give that a try.
Thanks for the report.

I fished Strawberry on Saturday and trolled along the west shoreline north of Mud Creek. I too graphed a lot of fish in that area. I was trolling silver and gold dodgers on the surface out about 150'. I started about 6:45 am and fished until 1:30 pm and hooked 18 and landed 14. Most were Cutts in the slot several were in the 19 " range.t I did land 2 small Bows and 1 17 incher. She fought really well. I also noticed the Cutts seem to be fighting more that usual. I had doubles twice and landed all 4 fish. The weather was fantastic. It was a good day overall
