We were up there on the Strawberry side, as well. We caught our limit of 12 kokes. The best fishing was between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. We picked up 6 kokes during this hour. Had to work for the other 6, getting the last at 11:00 a.m.
The first couple of hours the wind was freezing cold & then it was plain miserable. If you took your hands off the steering wheel, you were soon spinning donuts. Only had one big tangle with 4 rods out.
The first couple of hours we caught fish around 25 feet in depth. After that we dropped down & fished between 40 & 50 feet. The 52 degree water was around 45 feet in depth. Did not key in on a color; however, I would say green probably worked the best.
Threw back many slot cutts ranging from 6" to 20". It sure is disappointing when you hook up with the cutts! No rainbows this trip; in fact, I haven't caught a rainbow all season up there. Where are the rainbows? However, I am targeting the kokes - that may be the problem.
