[cool] Went to the Berry today. WOW was it a perfect day!!! Had to shed all the coats and layers of clothes to just tee shirts ( solar reflection of the snow made it very warm/hot)! FIshin was good too. Took the Sleds to the east side (opposite side of the Marina) near willow point. Found the best fishing in 30-40' of water just off the bottom. Landed approx 18 within the slot in 3.5 hours between the two of us. Lost twice that many!!! Errrrrrr We did land one 24" Cutt and it is still there for us all to catch again. Used paddle bugs with wax and mealy worms. Fish cops came by on Sleds and told us we were in a great spot! The only negative today was coming home and discovering how sun burnt we are. Oooooch are we burned!!! Ice is still 18" thick with 15" snow layer on top. NO slush. Perfect!!! Best Spring Ice fishing I've ever had at the Berry!!! FIsh are very healthy. The slot limit appears to be working, I hope the DWR keeps it in place so our children can all enjoy catching and releasing fish of this size and quality for years to come
