All the rainbows were cookie cutter 14". My son had one about 19" swipe at his jig several casts in a row until it finally got the hook but he came unpinned.
Generally, I don't think it matters too much the location of my exact spot. Things change so fast at this time of year, fish are moving a ton. I was fishing down the road to the dam on a steep rocky bank with wind pounding the shoreline and the fish were cruising, picking off baitfish. Most of my fish came within 1 - 5 feet of the surface but the big cutt was down maybe 10-12 feet. I caught fish from 10 feet off shore out to as far as I could cast in the headwind maybe 60 feet tops. Some took it on the fall and some took it as fast as I could crank.
Bottom line, go to the lake, tie on something that has been mentioned in this or other threads, retrieve it several different ways, if it catches fish, awsome, if not tie on something else. Keep experimenting until you connect and don't be afraid to try something different. I've caught fish at Strawberry on nearly everything I've tried (jigs, spoons, crankbait, spinners, nymphs, streamers, and bait). This time I got lucky and connected on the 3rd cast.[fishin]
