I took the boat out with a couple others to Strawberry today. The wind was so bad we decided to not even try it, so we drove back down the canyon and over to Jordanelle. We got a few hours of reasonably calm wind, and were blown off about noon.
The fishing was OK. We found a couple spots out in deep water (60' - 100') where fish were suspending, and pulled in about 6 smallish (14-16") rainbows. We had quite a few more than that hooked, but for some reason had trouble keeping them on.
The most successful lure was a 2.5" rainbow trout rapala, trolled anywhere from 1.4 to 2.0 mph. We also got a couple of hits on a small gold kastmaster and small rainbow/silver krocodile.
Given the way the day started (and the fact that a DWR officer told me nobody was catching anything) it all turned out pretty well.
