Here is an interesting 2007 article chronicling some of the milestones in Utah fishery management:

good read
Let's face it, fishing has changed and continues to change.
look at how fish finders keep getting better (so they can keep getting your money).
It's one of those challenges fishermen face today — decisions.

2007 was the start of Kokanee at strawberry (thank you) it took me a long time to learn how to catch them.
In an effort to improve the kokanee fishing, the DWR stocked 600,000 fish two years ago. Normally, around 400,000 kokanee go into Strawberry each year. Those fish will be in the 2-year-old-plus category, which means they should be showing up in summer catches.

The first Kokanee we caught at the Berry was in the 90s.

When I was a kid, I looked forward to the fishing opener as much as I did Christmas. The crowds could be something else, however.
This phrase caught my eye though.
"The opening of fishing was the official welcoming of summer. The season ran from June 1 to Nov. 31. Opening day was a big event."
We always had to stop fishing on November 30th. [:/]
