I had the pleasure of going to Strawberry today with Robert (liketrolling) and my friend Larry. Both Larry and and Robert are 40 year veterens of Kennecott so they had a lot in common. Amazing to work for one company for 40 years. That does not happen much anymore.
Anyway, we thought maybe the full moon might thwart our efforts to catch fish but we thought wrong. Right from the start we started catching fish. It took us awhile to dial in the Kokanee but they came to play as well. Not red hot on the salmon but good. We boated a bunch and lost a few. All in all, it was a good day. My favorite was the 21" fat rainbow we caught. Wow. What a big fish. He will make some tasty smoked fillets.
Robert and his tracker was amazing. He is really dialed in on how to fish with maximum efficiency. What a nice guy and his boat is perfect for what he does best - trolling. We had a blast and I can't thank him enough for having us on board and allowing my friend Larry to come along. We lost track of how many fish we caught. I guess the moon thing is bogus. Or maybe not. I can't seem to get a good handle on that phenomenon. Some times it just does not matter. Go figure.
Here are a couple of nice fish we kept.
