I don't think Strawberry ever produced lake trout over 20 pounds, brookies over 4, and browns over 10...in fact, I am not sure they were ever even an option.
As for smallmouth bass in Strawberry....well, if they have been illegally introduced, it will be an interesting wait-and-see-what-happens. Many times this issue has been debated at Strawberry, and each time the DWR has said that they believe smallmouth will not do well. They believe that lake is too cold and has too short of a growing season for smallmouth to do well...as far as rocky structure and forage go, though, it has plenty.
