Went back to Strawberry today with two others - started at 7 am and quit about noon. Fishing was kind of slow for this time of year, we only caught 39, and of those 21 came on pointer minnows. Jigging was only marginally effective despite perfect conditions, though it is notable that we caught more than half of our jigged fish in water less than 10' deep, including the nice 24"er and 25"er pictured in about 6'. The deeper fish we could locate were not real active so we went shallow. Air temp to start was 17 and around 40 when we quit. Water temp is now at 42 degrees and we did see a little ice on a couple of weed mats and some very shallow (1' deep) and small bays. Search & rescue was out searching but had no luck when we talked to them while pulling out.
