Fished Strawberry Saturday with BEARCLAW. We first tried still fishing with fresh minnows on the Soldier Creek side, but the fish weren't interested. We then trolled Soldier Creek side some, and then the Strawberry side later. In between we tried casting some lures, and a little vertical jigging in the narrows -- fish weren't interested in that either. We did manage to catch some trolling, but not as many as I would have expected, and nothing over about 18 inches. Perhaps the full moon had something to do with that. BEARCLAW swore me to secrecy about bugging him about all of his long releases, so I won't bring that up. First time I had met Chad -- a real pleasure to fish with and a generous person.
