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.

I would like to catch the fish that chewed on this guys tail

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.

picked a good week.......

I love fishing that reservoir! Nice job on the fish.

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.

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

Thanks for the pictures. I miss that place.

Used to go to Fish lake every summer. Most recently caught some nice Spake.

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.
