12/26 Soldier Creek & Strawberry
----------------------------------
We started at approx 7:30 AM at SC and found fish to be between 16-30 feet deep. I caught 2 cutts and 2 bows. No real size to them, not many hits and was slow. Mike caught a few cutthroats and his friend Jon caught a nice bow aswell. Around 1 PM we went to Chicken Creek and I caught 2 off the bat. Then it was dead until approx 4:00 and I pulled another 2 cutts out. Biggest being 19 inches. Slow day overall, not much being caught.
12/27 Strawberry Reservoir
----------------------------------
I started at 7AM in 17 feet deep water. I setup camp and got to it and after 5 minutes I had my first fish on the ice. I caught a total of 23 fish and lost 4 at the hole. Fish size ranged from 17-23 inches.

Action was steady all day with some slow 45 minute periods where I couldn't get any of the fish hooked. I missed several hits aswell.

I was tent bound most of the day, the wind was roaring after 10 AM. Very windy, overcast, and cold but the fish seemed to be very hungry.
I pulled a cutt out that had its jaw broken and also had someone elses white tube stuck on his mouth. I took the tube for my collection and took a photo and released this fish to the wild. I don't know how it still lives, it had no jaw movement at all.

Below is a shot of one of two 23 inch cutts I caught today. GREAT FUN! First one made a run for it and ripped tonz of drag. The one I kept to cook weighed 4.3 pounds and was a fatty!

Great fun at the Berry and it was good to have another record day after the past 2 trips being slow.
