The fish had plenty to eat and weren't interested in what anglers had to offer. However, Strawberry Project Leader Alan Ward noted that anglers are beginning to pick up kokanee on both the Soldier Creek side and the Strawberry side, near Haws Point. Rainbow fishing has been good, and cutthroat fishing is picking up. Summer techniques, which include fishing deeper during the day and near shore during early and late hours, should be working well. Strawberry has special regulations, so read the Utah Fishing Guidebook before you head out.
