Brookie I agree with what you are saying the DWR dose a good job with the tools and funding they have.
I fish the Gorge almost every week and I am seeing the same thing you are seeing at Strawberry, the season started of strong and has slowed as the season went one. The quality of the fish is really good. Guess it has to do with less mouths to feed.
If you look at the planting reports going four years back the amount of kokes planted in the Gorge was low.
I think this was the time frame the DWR started putting kokes in new lakes and this resulted in the lower numbers in some lakes because the fish went in to new lakes.
This is just my two cents.
