I think the weather report scared many fishermen from fishing Strawberry today. The weather started out beautiful. Blue sky, a little cold but almost no wind. Sun came up right on time at 0600 as we were cruising out to the spot we have been getting quite a few the last week.
Riggers stacked at 29 and 19 on one side - 35 and 25 on the other. It was a Chinese fire drill. It was hard to keep all 4 lines in the water at once. At least twice we had 3 on at once. Good thing there were 3 of us in the boat. Some were cutts but most were kokes. Some came off on the way in and we turned back 4 smaller ones that were not hooked hard.
At 11 kokes on board, my brother in law wanted to fish for a rainbow, so we pulled the riggers and headed for shore in Renegade. No luck on the rainbow and then the wind picked up.
On the way back from Renegade, we looked across the lake toward the ladders and saw this funnel cloud. It touched down twice. Not being from Kansas, I had never seen such a sight. Here are a couple of the photos we took. It was kind of exciting.
