[#0000FF]Your picture did not show up so can't verify for sure. Is it possible you checked the "inline" box without doing the rest of what is necessary to make the picture appear in your post. If so, just uncheck the inline box and we can look at the attachment.
I can tell you that there used to be more than a few brookies in Strawberry. Not out of the question that a few survived in some of the feeder creeks over the years...or got accidentally mixed into a hatchery planting.
There are also a few stray browns and a few tigers that show up once in a while.
And yes, there have been smallmouths caught from Strawberry. They are doubtless plants by bucket bozos. And they will never take over the lake because it is not hospitable to smallmouths. The growing season and food supply situation makes it tough for them to survive past their first year.
