Strawberry Soldier Creek

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.

I chatted with a couple anglers who also struggled with kokes last this week. Maybe the calmer weather pattern will heat em up

From the stocking reports, this could be a poor year for the kokes at The Berry. 2knots reported the same wind report but I think he found some toward the end of the day but only got two kokes. At least the bows give a good fight, like the kokes. Any size to the bows you caught?
