Like MGB said, we had a great day at Strawberry today! Mike taught me a lot of things and I think I had a personal best ever fishing day. Some of the things I learned:
1. Location, location, location.
2. Be patient! We stayed basically in one spot the whole day, and the fishing was steady and fast from the first minute, but occasionally (...once) we had to wait 15 minutes or so for the school to come back around!
3. JIGGING is where its at! I had my spinner setup with me and didn't use it after the first hookup jigging.
When MGB said we caught about 3 dozen each, that is a conservative estimate...I think we caught more than that...honestly, we lost track. It got to the point where if we didn't have a hit within a minute or so after dropping our jigs, we knew that something was wrong it was so good! Mike even had to leave his pole out of the water while he ate lunch! He attempted to eat once or twice but kept getting interrupted catching fish!
Heres a few pics that I took, including the Rainbow that we caught and the double-mouthed Cutthroat.
Thanks again for the great trip Mike!

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
