Anyone been fishing the Berry this week? In particular, the narrows? What's working for trolling and/or jigging? I am hoping that the cooler weather will help warm up the fishing this weekend.

[quote johnboy83]Lake might have turned over. Fishing will be the shiz for a couple weeks [frown][/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]The algae bloom may have died and the oxygen levels might be a bit off but the lake will not "turn over" until surface temps reach about 39 degrees.[/#0000ff]

Have not seen any Algea bloom on this side, but weeds are still bad. About 20 feet out from shore lines.

[cool][#0000ff]As you know, I do not fish Strawberry like I used to...so I have not kept personal track of the conditions this year. In years past there was usually a big greenout from about mid August to the middle of September or so. And when that stuff dies and sinks it consumes a lot of oxygen when it decomposes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I suspect a lot of things will be different in this year of lower water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good luck.[/#0000ff]

I don't know if you can see Geo tag information on this photograph, but the water is nice and pulling up plants, I see they are quite healthy just like what is nice to see in an aquarium. Photograph is 3 minutes ago.

We fished the mouth of Mud Creek on Friday. We trolled using mono, draggin behind spinners, tubes and flatfish. We couldn't keep the cutts off the white Rooster-Tails. Fish ranged from 17 to 20".
The wind was up, but we kept at it as long as we could, and the bite was still on when we left about 2:00.
We marked fish on the finder from 10 to 25 feet, but mono on top was the ticket for the biters.
Still a few kokes in the river to look at, too.

Hit the lake with 2 friends about 8am. We started in Renegade jigging - no luck. Made our way to the east side, just north of the narrows and began trolling. Caught 2 16-17" bows trolling a Rapala. Caught another 16" rainbow trolling a Panther Martin around Chicken Creek East. Finished the day hauling in a beautiful 22" rainbow near Mud Creek - also on the Panther Martin. It would have been great if my two pals had caught something, but I was pleased with my day.

We launched out of SC yesterday. Fished by the damn and the narrows. Did real well in the middle of the day when it warmed up. Mix of rainbows and cutthroats caught one cutt that went 24". Kids did well on power bait. I threw jigs and lures most of the day.
