[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Went to Strawberry Solider Creek This morning[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]With the longer daylight hours the fish don’t seem to be in close like they have last couple weeks. We got to the dam about 7 am and they were in the process of moving deeper we did catch a couple right off the bat nice 20 plus inch cutts. It turned off by about 8:30 we stay until about 10:30 with a couple other light hits.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] From the dam we moved to the stairs (fisherman a plenty) lots of water now coming down the stairs bites were few, we did catch a couple nice rainbows. [/font][/size]
We saw an old timer catch a sucker and an other old timer cut a slab of meat from the side of it and used it as bait. About 5 minuets later he hooked up with a huge rainbow around 8 lbs I would guess. Not many other fish we saw get caught today on the shore. Its has been a little slower this spring from what I remember the past couple years. Or maybe my timing and placement is wrong.
we were using Rainbow colored tube jigs frozen minnows power bait worm & mellows
