First time posting this year. Guess I ought to get on the ball. I fished Strawberry with my son and 2 friends yesterday. We went over to Soldier Creek a mile or so in off the highway, about halfway between the highway and dam. Fished all day. I caught 17, not sure how many the others caught, probably 10 or more each, so for a total for us all between 40 and 70 fish. Most were rainbows. The few cutts we caught were all in the slot around the 19 and 20 inch length. They took anything we wanted to fish with. They are shallow. Caught most of them in 7-15 feet of water, the majorty about 10 ft. Tried the deeper depths, but they just aren't hanging around there. We put up our tents and would look down the hole and watch them. I was there with my wife the weeked prior and had the same results. My wife hooked a fat cutt that had to be close to 4 or 5 lbs. Never seen a cutt so fat and thick. Mosty they are shaped like torpedo's. Broke her heart to turn it back.
