Try fishing after dark, the bigger fish are being caught at night.Its a perfect time to troll or cast with the full moon.
There are rainbows, cutthroat, and cuttbows. There are a few big ones in there. I know of 2 ten ponders and a rumor of a 17 pounder being caught afew weeks ago by someone bait fishing by the island. Talk to the camp host about the 17 pounder he told my uncle about it.
One 10 pound cuttbow was caught at midnight on a flie in august by a floattuber and a cutthroat by me casting minnows in fall acouple years ago.
I would troll lures or flies on the surface at night or cast minnows under a Float for bigger ones. After dark you will hear the kerplunks and thrashing of them feeding.
Alot of the pressure from strawberry has shifted to scofield,so the bigger fish are becoming fewer.The only other place for big fish around there would be joes valley resevour. Good Luck and have fun!
