Launched the tube from western shore access around 7:30 and hit a few right away stripping Midnight Fire Bugger before turning over to chironomids around 8:00a. Fishing pupae patterns about 8ft below an indicator provided steady action until ~10:30a when the WIND came up! Things got difficult from there on. The water seemed to take on a “green tea” color after lunch and the water temps actually DROPPED despite the abundant sunshine from 42* F when we launched to close to 40* F when we left. Thinking the lake could have been turning over which may have put the fish into a funk as they shut down on us completely. Strange thing was all fish landed, save for one, were rainbows. Biggest was a tad over 18in and fat as a football. Better days ahead.

More bows than cutts at the Berry is indeed an oddity now days...does sound like the lake was turning over on ya. Thanks for the report...I miss the Berry dearly!
