Last week I went to Strawberry Reservoir yet again. It is hard to go anywhere else when you catch plenty of large trout! This trip, my friend Jason, his 4 month old son Jimmer, and I had an awesome day of shore fishing.
The day started off pretty cold at sunrise with a thick fog over the lake.
It didn't take long before the fish started biting. I caught the first fish using a method I've never used before.
I rigged up a water bubble with a small prince nymph fly on the end of the line. I filled the water bubble up half full with water, then I cast it out. While I worked on putting a lure on my other fishing pole, my pole with the fly on it went crazy with the first fish of the day!
Jason and Jimmer got in on the action as well!
Jason caught most of his fish using a gold Joe's Flies and Lure.
Jason even landed this large cutthroat on the same gold Joe's Flies and Lure.
I caught some fish on a Lucky Craft Pointer, rainbow colored lure.
Most of the fish I caught were with the Kastmaster lure in the photo above. My wife picked this lure out and it has turned out to be an excellent lure for trout! I've now caught fish ranging from 10" to 22" with the lure!
I caught one fish using this Cabela's Fisherman spinner.
Even with the cold weather early on, Jason, Jimmer, and I had a good time fishing. We caught a combined total of 23 fish from shore.
JOE'S TIP OF THE DAY
After catching a fish, it is good to check your lure/bait, as well as the knot you tied on before casting it out again. I lost two lures this fishing trip because I didn't realize my knots came loose after catching a few fish! Don't be afraid to try new knots if you need!
