Since I can't seem to draw an elk tag, my brother and me went back to Strawberry reservoir, Utah for a few days of trout fishing.

As usual, I caught the most fish, but at the last minuet of the last day, my brother caught the big fish.

Nice fish! I used to love fishing Strawberry when I lived in Utah but I haven't been there in years. Looks like it might be worth the trip.

Fishing there can be hot, indeed. Unfortunately, due to slot limits, it's almost completely a catch and release lake. It's rare to catch a cutthroat not in the "must release" slot. You can keep rainbows and kokanee, though. Right now is that great time between waterskiers and snow machines - a different kind of slot.

I am pretty much a “catch & release” guy anyway. We did catch a half dozen over 22”, and a dozen nice rainbows.

Oh man, fond memories, when I was 14. In 1971 we use to fish Strawberry Res. Almost every weekend until the snow got to deep to travel thru the Unitas, caught a bunch of trout up there, got stung in the butt by a huge bumble be! Never forget that place , thanks for the pics!

Love the Berry in the Fall. A few years ago at this time We had a nice 6x6 bull elk swim across the lake to the island. Long swim and one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Everyone is pretty on the internet!

Gorgeous photos, nice background. Photographer must have a big pair, getting right in the boat with that grizzly.

Fish Lake Splake are some pretty fish. Headed there in a couple weeks to get the cabin and boat ready for the year. My son with a Fish Lake Lake Trout he caught on my grandfather’s hand-line paddle, out of my great-grandfather’s boat.

My grandfather lived in Vernal UT for about 15 years. He would take me to Strawberry 3-4 time each year. Also to Flaming Gorge. Loved them both. Brings back fond memories of time spent with him. Thank you for the thread.
