Late Strawberry Report 10-17-08

[davefishman]

I went and fished the berry the other day. I did not get my pontoon boat on the water until after 10 am. I ended up with 9 fish. That is a fairly average day for me on Strawberry, but still it is great fun. I used a medium sinking line with a fly of my own making for 8 of the fish. The final fish I caught was huge (forgot a tape - which I was grateful for when I got home and did not have to clean fish) and I caught that on what sportsman's warehouse calls a "White Griz". What a great reservoir.

I am originally from Idaho and I may always consider myself an Idahoan. I miss the fishing there, but I have to say, I will miss Strawberry if I Can't stay in the state when I graduate (I am finishing up with my Phd in Mechanical Engineering soon). I am excited to at least get a month or so of ice fishing on the Berry this winter. All the people I have met while fishing have been very kind to this out of stater. Thanks!

I too am an out-of-stater, sort of. My wife and I moved here from Colorado less than a year ago. I met utwalleye were I work and he has told me the spots to fish. I have been shoreline fishing and tube fishing Strawberry, with what I call good days all. This morning we are leaving to go there and fish from the boat. I love this Utah fishing. I miss parts of fishing in Colorado, but this ride has been great. Hope you get to stay, work and PLAY! Will update posts later with our day at Strawberry.
