So it was my birthday sat and i decided to take a break from the river and head on up to the berry and try my birthday good luck... turned out to be a pretty good choice! We got up there about noon and starting trying our luck out a little deeper where i thought the fish would be, turns out they had already started to head back into the shores so we started picking them up about 30 feet from shore. Fished the shores for a few hours and had about 15 or so all in the 2 to 3 lbs range. ( tried spinners and some flies but as always seems garlic powerbait off the bottom was the trick) Then we switched it up to minnows and started drifting to try and get some nice cutties, was able to pick up 3 or 4 of those bad boys before dark. (no pictures of the cuts unfortunately ) Ended up keeping 5 rainbows between the two of us frying them up for dinner. Definitely not the best day at the berry but all in all a pretty good birthday trip!
