I've been hitting Strawberry pretty hard lately on the Soldier Creek side with mixed results. Have any of you Koke pros been doing any good at Strawberry lately?

Beuller, Beuller, Beuller. Anyone, anyone, anyone. With all the boats out there chasing Koke someone must have a report. PM if needed.

Haven't been but once to the Berry in the last month. The trip wasn't a skunk, only a very slow day. No kokes on that day. Plan on hitting it soon again.

I fished strawberry Friday 6/5/15 weather was wild to say the least . we started out with 40 mph winds which quickly calmed as the rain started. we fished mainly the berry side . we caught kokes between 5 and 35 feet deep . speed wasn't a factor but pink on pink dodger squid combo was the best. we ended up with 7 kokes about 3 bows and another 8 cutts . my friend did better he got 29 , so fishing should be great

I think I will be there Saturday my self they are out in front of sage hen knoll all the way up to the old dam. and in the usual spots on soldier creek you shouldn't have much trouble finding them if you see my boat swing by and say hello

Been hitting the Sage Hen area as well. With water temp at 54 I've had best luck up high. Planner boards with a bit of weight have worked well. Like usual orange and pink combination working well. The RMT pink serpent spoon has been producing best size fish. So far biggest boated this year was 21" 3.5 lb koke. Still waiting for that 4+ pounder. I think the Berry kokes fight much better than those I've hooked into at FG.

if you go Saturday let us know if you get hit buy a boat. Friday the kokes were at 25 ft. lots of them. water temp was 60 deg when we left.

I went Saturday and the parking lot was an absolute zoo but once I got on the water it wasn't crowded at all. I ended up with about 20 kokes for the 2 days. thanks to every one who left at 11 so I could have the lake to myself.

Well, that's it! I'll be hitting Strawberry in the morning. This time I believe I'll go to the Strawberry side and leave Soldier creek a lone. Maybe.

I'll be hitting the Berry tomorrow 6-17. After the hammering the Gorge just took over the weekend with anglers working hard to catch only a few, I'll shift my trip. Give me a yell if your in the area, I'll monitor ch16 VHF. I'll be mainly on the Strawberry side.

Got my one day binge out of the way fishing Strawberry today. Now it's time to get thru the hangover. Mainly fished Strawberry side. Caught 3 dinks to start with and then what little bite there was seemed to have shutdown all together. It took another hour before the bite started picking up again. As clockwork has it the 2pm wind scampered me to get off the water. The day turned out to be a good one catching wise. I ended up with 2 descent kokes in the box, lost another 4 between 2 1/2-3lbs with 1 that broke 3lbs easy at the back of the boat. The cutts wanted to play too. Brought 12 to the boat mostly 18"-20" slots.

No complaints here, already planning next trip before swinging back towards the Gorge. What a great place to beat the heat. The furnace door is now open for the valley dwellers.

It amazes me how many people were fishing Strawberry on Monday. I was the third truck in the parking lot in the morning and when I left the parking lot was almost full. I didn't see that many boats though.

Very good, especially when we distanced ourselves from others. My kids had a ball. Still breaking RMT leaders though.
