Yes, you certainly have my attention! Now if I could just figure out how to make it in a daytrip or overnighter... I'll have to check and see if Mrs. zonker is using the Learjet with the deployable drop tubes next weekend. Until then I'll just have to listen to the reports and try to find that kind of fishing someplace closer.
Our own Diamond Lake has gone through some of the same growing pains, boom or bust, based on the overpopulation of Tui Chubs. As I understand it they are going to drain and poison it either this winter or next. They've done this before, only to have either "unauthorized plants" made by the midnight bucket brigade or illegal use of baitfish which are then dumped into the lake. 'Tis a rotten shame when a rich lake that has so much potential has to be completely wiped out and restarted. Opportunistic fisherpersons who keep up with the latest news, though, can get some fantastic years of fishing when they pay attention.
I've occasionally heard tales of great fishing at Strawberry, even from my distant listening post.
Happy Thanksgiving.
