Two years ago I took out a vet and his wife, and it was a great time for everyone, and we even caught some fish. I want to do it again, but I want to wait to make sure that day will work for me before I commit.

Trevor, I would like to volunteer. Don't have a boat I feel is large enough or stable enough to support someone that may have some handicap. But would like to help out wherever I could be used on shore. Sending PM

Having only been on Strawberry twice over 10 years ago, is this the main marina ? Or another one. How would I get here from say, Heber City?

Fred,

you will just continue past the Strawberry Marina an additional 9 or 10 miles if coming out of Heber. View the map in full screen, if not the two markers may shift.

Thanks for your support!!!

And if you come to the Solider Creek Dam turn off sign then you have went to far. Then turn around and go back about 3/4 of a mile for the turnoff to the ramp.

Sorry to hear about your shoulders Cliff. My fishing partner is looking at a double shoulder surgery as well.

I'm not in charge of scheduling the dates but for the last five years the event has only been in August once. Hopefully by next year you'll be up and running and be able to come play with us.
