Strawberry - tubing

[Joe_Dizzy]

Beautiful fish. What line are you using? Where would you launch?

I carry two rods, both 9ft 5WT... 1st rigged w/ floating line, 2nd rigged with intermediate slow-sinking line (1.5 in/sec). Also have a 2nd reel along with Type II sinking line.

Lots of places to launch... some free, some pay. This one is on East Portal Bay SW of the Marina. Not sure of the exact name but the map shows it as Chaplain Point?

I've never gone over to the Soldier Creek side, but understand that there are more (free) tube friendly launch spots there? Just going by what I've read on here over the years actually. Mud Creek is another popular free spot to put in. Ladders might be free as well?

Strawberry is a massive reservoir. If new to it, my suggestion would be to focus on a small area... treat it like a pond within the lake. Take your lumps early, but keep at it, learn the nuances, and you'll be killin' em in no time.
