I’ve been to Strawberry 3 times this summer over the past 4 weeks. Each time we’ve had 5-7 people on the boat (1-2 are usually kids). We caught 110 fish our first trip, 70 fish our second trip, and 121 fish on our third trip. Each of the 3 trips was no more than 5 hours of actual fishing time. We do the AM half day boat rental. I have never had a day in any other year where we caught more than 55. That’s 300 fish across 3 days. The crazy part is that not a single fish was larger than 21 inches and only 2 of those 300 fish were rainbows. That’s a ton of cutthroat but it sure is a great time.
I love the Berry and it’s a very healthy fishery. I need to learn how to go after Kokes some day to mix it up. I feel like I’m one of the last people to still chase cutthroat via jigging. But I love fishing with a rod in my hand and setting the hook.
