I like calling it getting in line for the parade in the mornings.
We go to the triangle and get my sport and follow the boats around.
I do have to say i see allot more fish around this cordinate N40°11.045' W111°06.534'.

If you draw the following lines, I believe this is what I have always referred to as the Strawberry triangle:
(1) a line from Haws point to the old damsite. Some take it from the Strawberry Bay marina to the old damsite.
(2) Haws Point to the ladders
(3) The old damsite to the ladders
This draws a triangle out in the middle of the reservoir. This gets you in the general vicinity. Others maybe able to refine it better.

We probably all have in our minds what we call the triangle. I like your number 1 (dry dock) and number 3 (sage hollow) points. The line between them are what I would refer to as the north line of the triangle.
Your number 2 point I would move over, out in front of the narrows about 200 yds. From your number 3 point to this 2nd point (along the east side) would be what I would refer to as the east line of the triangle. This line for me sometimes runs closer to the shore and sometimes farther from shore but parallels the shore.
The south line for me is a little more ambiguous because it does not close the triangle. In my youth I worked as a surveyor and they like everything to close. I either choose a point out in front of Haws or in front of the SB Marina and then head toward the point in front of the narrows. That is what I would refer to as the south line of the triangle - I know it doesn't close on the west side and goes against everything I was taught in my surveyor days, but basically a triangle. That is only my interpretation. We will probably see other interpretations as well.
I have caught some on all sides of the triangle this year and other places as well. They have been all over. Heck I even got one prospecting over in Renegade on Monday.
Not sure if you are braving the crowds this coming weekend and holiday. I have from Saturday to Wednesday off and family that wants to camp and fish so we will be up there quite a bit. I suspect we will be fishing early and late and probably off the beaten triangle. Seems they can be found in uncharted (to me) waters as well.

The biggest koke I have got at Strawberry was in Renegade, if I remember it was close to 5 lbs and 25"
I went there last year about 3 times and did not catch any
I may go Mon and Wed the kokes will all be hiding.

When I asked about the triangle I was originally told to draw a line from the Marina to Sage Creek to Haws and then back to the marina. I never had as much luck the closer I went to Haws so my new and improved triangle goes form the Marina to Sage Creek to the mouth of the narrows and then back to the marina. That said historically we've always seemed to have better luck on the North and East runs of the triangle for the kokes. I also marked a couple other spots on the map that we've done well in the past.

That's what is nice about having a boat. They are 'Here' today 'Gone' tomorrow. The fish are where you find them although certain areas seem to attract them more than others.
