First Ice Trip to Strawberry

[Troutster]

I was on Strawberry Friday night to Sat morning. The slush monster is alive and well. By Sat at noon every step sank down thru the snow to the ice with water up to your ankles. Waterproof boots are a must. It’s really exhausting moving around. I’d bring snow shoes. The shuttle service works good but sometimes you have to wait because there is a line. Fishing was slowish but that’s because I don’t know where to go. I talked to a guy who had a 100 fish overnighter. I caught 21. Glow tubes and paddle bugs seemed to work the best. We tipped with night crawler or chub meat or shrimp. Good luck.
