Must have something to do with age or matcurity I would think. I have a 1953 forest green chevy station wagon on the bottom of that lake. It broke through the ice in 1968 and it took three days to sink. No one would dare go out and try and retrive it even back then. But hey i was just a kid and we were having some fun on the ice just off the old Camp Strawberry. I wouldn't even think of doing soemthing like that today ....... what was I thinking!

The good news is, semis make excellent artificial reefs.

Hey Road
Have you ever gone back and tried to catch some fish hanging out in your station wagon. That car would make some good cover for the fish to hang around. If you could find it again, you should try ice fishing over it. I have heard of crappies in Strawberry and that would be a good place to find some. Has anybody else caught some crappies in Strawberry? Let me know. Wiper24

This sounds like a good story to tell on the ice . When my boat was running I would troll thru that area in the summer and pic up kokes and cutts . I will have to look for a hump now .Need to get a GPS Too .

Went to the Soldier Creek side (2/1/003) about half way from the freeway to the dam on the East side and caught 10 fish between 8:30 and 10. Slot sized cutt's and smaller rainbows. Moved to the west side in search of some bigger fish and got nothing. At 11:30 we went over to the Strawberry side, because the fish we've been catching over there seem to be larger. 4 more fish and the rest of the afternoon later we called it a day and went home, and for the last day and a half I've been replaying in my mind the sight of my friend sprinting towards his mister jigger (on the most slippery ice around) and setting the hook on the run (or slide).

There's crappies in the Berry??? I'll have to check that out, but it would not surprise me one bit. I caught a couple of browns there last year that they said didn't exsist. But they are not saying that today as they took pictures and wanted to keep the fish. But being the nice guy I am it just kind of slipped out of may hands and back into the lake. I sure hoe to catch it again when it gets a bit bigger!

Strawberry Res. is my favorite place to fish. Never ice-fished it though. I love getting there in the Springtime. The biggest trout I've ever caught was there at the Berry, about 3 yrs. ago. Ultra Lt. outfit with 6 lb. test. Fishing from the bank, a 6 lb. Rainbow/Cutt Hybrid grabbed a crawler- took me 20 minutes to get him in. Needless to say, my buddies rushed over to my spot and didn't catch a thing! Meanwhile I pulled in another 3 lb. Cutt while they cussed at me!
Can't wait to get back to the Berry!
Derek
