Strawberry Soldier Creek

[Piscophilic]

Hit Soldier creek looking for kokanee spending about 4.5 hours. Very very windy with gusts even turning the boat. We caught about 20+ rainbow and 5 cuts but no kokanee today. Bows were fat and healthy and released without harm. Will try again to play hide and seek with the kokanee. Fished from 10-60 feet. Talked to a few others who also caught cuts and bows, but no kokanee.

Thanks for the report. Jon and I fished it on both sides a few days before you and found the same. Fat rainbows at about 16" and smaller ones, plus some nice cutts, but no kokes.

Jon did get a nice rainbow that was over 3 pounds. At Strawberry it was a slot buster cutt (gill slashes), but genetically it was a rainbow .
