Strawberry report - Kent - 08-31-2003
I just got back from Strawberry. Took my son's family out this time. Fishing with family -- so we didn't get to the water until about 9:30 AM. No minnows by the public docks, so I headed to the long-term docks. Stood on the bow of the boat and cast the net a few times. The minnows were scattered, so I was only able to get about 20 after a few casts -- before a guy told me I shouldn't be catching minnows around the docks. I don't think he had any right to chase me off, but being the nice guy that I am, I left without arguing. Fishing in 50 feet of water on the Soldier Creek side, hanging a minnow over the side of the boat worked really well for about 2 1/2 hours. Still fishing slowed so we went trolling. Trolling was red hot for mostly smaller fish. Twice we had triples on ( we had one rig on the downrigger, one pole with leaded line, and long-lined a third pole), which I believe is a first for me. Trolled gold and gold/red spinners, Jakes Lures, and Carter Spoons.

Sounds like you had a good day out on the water Kent. I'm thinking about going next weekend. Did you get any rainbows, where all of the cutts in the slot limit?

We caught two rainbows. The majority of the fish we caught were under the slot limit (this is common every fall at Strawberry) some were as small as 5 - 7 inches long. We also caught many cutthroat that were in the slot limit. The largest fish we caught were all caught fishing with minnows.
