People not Catchin.
Fished Strawberry from 6:00 am to 8:45 pm friday Sept 2nd. The fishing was good with about 35 fish apiece. But the gas prices must of kept everyone home as I only counted about a dozen boats all day. And I fished all over the lake from Solder Creek to the ladders. I have never seen a day with so few people at the Berry. Even on a wed. in the middle of winter there are more people on the big pond.
I was able to net about 100 chub minnows and we mostly drift fished with these. All fish were only lipped and quickly released unharmed to fight another day. Most of the fish were slot cutts. but we managed to catch three 7 to 9 inch fish, one being a rainbow.
One other interesting thing was we noticed about a dozen boils. Yes boils on Strawberry. There would be about 20 3-4inch fish coming out of the water. we were able to catch a half dozen 18 to 21 inch cutts by casting a rapala into the boils.
