Thanks for the report. PowerBait in a pinch comes through again.
How did you catch the koke? Been wanting to add one to my species caught through the ice list.

Jigging a Berkley swimbait 2 1/2 cranks off the bottom with a ball of power bait about the size of a salmon egg

I was also up there that day with a couple friends. However we were on the other side of Strawberry reservoir from where you were. There were only a few people over by us. Conditions were about the same as far as ice and slush - not bad at all for us. We fished about 4-5 hours and all three of us iced fish - only slot cuts. Not sure how many but probably about 30 between the three of us. A few on the bottom at 26-27 fow the rest distributed in the column with several just barely under the ice.
attached picture is the best of the day that I caught - 13 inch boot for scale.
