After having a successful day at the Berry on Friday I got a phone call from Barclay who wanted to go Sunday. Him and his father in law Todd have fished here many times never really having any spectacular success. I was hoping that my knowledge of the reservoir might change this. It did, we had a great day and landed many Cutthroats all ranging in between the slot limit which is 15-22 inches. We caught around 40 fish in all, but Barclay had the biggest day catching at least 15 of them! I caught 10 or more, and Todd did the same. We fished over on the west side of the knolls in the morning moved to the narrows mid morning and then ended up back at the knolls around 11:00 because that's where the most fish were holding. We used white tube jigs tipped with an earthworm. The fish were anywhere from 30 to 60 feet deep. Our best success was finding 60 feet of water and dropping our jigs all the way to the bottom, then slowly bringing it up about 10 feet. Most of our hits were right when we started reeling up from the bottom. This was one of the many Cutthroats that were caught!

We left early due to the predictable 12:00 o'clock wind that is famous at Strawberry. It got so bad that we couldn't jig anymore so we called it a day. It was a great day and we are spoiled here in Utah with the average size of trout we can continuously catch out of this reservoir.
