Strawberry 11/2

[FischRMann]

There were a few other folks out on the water. Probably about 7 or 8 other boats. None of the fish went over 20". Probably about 7 or 8 of the 44 were between 18-20. The rest were mostly between 14-17 inches, with a few really tiny 10-12 inch fish in there as well. All of them were cutts. Not much for variety yesterday. There were 3 of us in the boat, and all were in the double digits for the day, so the action was spread around pretty well. It was great to be out there, especially with the few other boats I saw out there. It was nice to never troll near any other boats all day. I think that these fish are going to start busting 20" real regular by the middle of next season, with a bunch over 22". It's just a matter of time. Right now, it's just kind of a catch and release lake until we get some size to those fish. We could have kept a few below the slot, but none above. An old dude I talked with for a minute said he caught a 6lb rainbow from the docks before the pulled them up. Well, For what it's worth.
