Well, Liketrolling and Wiperhunter have not totally cleaned out the the Kokanee at Strawberry. There are a few left. All kidding aside, thanks for Robert and Wiperhunter for helping make my first trip back from Achilles surgery a success. Started fishing at 7:00am east of the Marina and it did not take long before we had our first Kokanee. After that, we could not keep the cutts off the line. Frustrating to throw back all those 18-20 inchers. Later that morning we found a few pockets of Kokes and had some more success. I have to say, the fishing and the catching was constant for 5 hours. Cutts and Kokes made for a wonderful morning. I can't believe how many boats were on the water on a Thursday. Crazy busy. I filleted up a limit of Kokanee and I can't wait to cook them on the grill.
What a great lake. Some days are magical on the Berry.
We used all the usual, pink squids, silver dodgers. However, that is not the only thing they will take. We tried 4 other types of lures and they caught Kokanee and Cutts as well. Kokanee Killers, Wedding Rings, Needlefish, Cripple Lures. Don't be afraid to give a different option on the menu to the fish. You might be surprised.
Happy Hunting - I mean Fishing.
