Has anyone been up to see what the ice off situation is like up a Strawberry? Is it all gone now? I was hoping I hadn't missed the opportunity for this weekend.
Thanks!!

I will most likely be there tomorrow unless a last minute plan comes through to a different destination. I'll post up tomorrow night if I go.

I have now heard all of the ice is gone, except for a few floating pieces here and there. Can anyone validate this for me before this weekend please?

Consider it confirmed. Small portions of ice around, but for all intents and purposes, the ice is gone. You could launch a boat and cruise around at will.
Fishing was slow this morning. Ended up taking off because I was tired of dealing with the constant wind. Only landed one 17" bow. Conditions weren't ideal for fly fishing with the strong winds, but it's nice to get out anyway. Good luck this weekend for those going!

Hey flygoddess,
I was heading out to Strawberry. I'm off all next week (11-15 May) I haven't fished an ice off before. Let me know if your headed out there, I'd like to get some pointers from you.
Thanks
Jack
