I never do well at Strawberry from a week after ice off until the spawn (mid-end of June until mid July). The best fishing for me is end of June, mid-September until ice on, and first few weeks of ice on.
I haven't figured out exactly why, but I would guess the fish are still lethargic in the cold water, they are deeper and the bait fish aren't acting like the rapalas and tube jigs that are being used (size, color, depth). They may also be pre-spawn and not concentrating on eating. Who knows?
