Hey Kent -- not sure what chart you have, but the Game and Fish (West) magazine that I have, says July 23 was a "Best" day...sounds like you and Randy proved them right for that day....I don't put a lot of store in the charts, I try to go when I can, or a day a buddy can go...sometimes the charts are right, but not always....One of our proficient kokanee fishermen on this site, who Likes to Troll at Strawberry, recently posted that his boat did very well early on Monday, saying the best bite was done by 0700....looking at my same chart for that day, ("Fair day" in the middle of 7 "Poor" days), the best listed A.M. bite time was 0518 to 0718....Coincidence? I don't know, but sure appeared to be correct for him that day/time....I'll check the charts once in awhile, sometimes before I go, sometimes after....but I know the charts aren't the only contributing factor to a good/not so good fishing day...
