Strawberry Reservoir
The “Berry” Ice Off
May 10th
On Thursday morning Chubbs and me headed up to fish Strawberry Reservoir and hit the ice off. The last few years I have wanted to hit the ice off but have missed it. This year I got a heads up that it was happening from the “Dr” that hit it a few days before we did. Fishing was good and the Cutthroats had awesome colors. I will let the video tell the rest of the story.

Stillwater "Ice Off"
May 21st
So life has been kinda crazy the past few weeks. So much so that I haven’t been able to make it out fishing as much as I would have wanted to by now. In the past three weeks I graduated from UVU, went on a 7 day Caribbean Cruise, went Turkey hunting for the first time and finally this last weekend was able to hit a couple different lakes in search for some “Ice Off” trout.
So on Friday (May 17th) I only had to put in 4 hours at work so I opted to show up to work latter and hit Strawberry Reservoir in the morning from 6am-12pm. Fishing wasn’t red hot like it usually is during “ice off”, but I was still able to connect a couple times with some aggressive cutts. The best part of the day was I was finally being able to get out of the city and enjoy time on the water.
Sat. May 18th- Since I hitt Strawberry the day before and it wasn’t on fire I decided to hit a little lake lets call Lake X. Fishing was a lot better. I was hooking up a lot, but kept breaking off these oversized fish. Dang!!! I finally was able to horse one to the net and it was a beautiful Colorado Cutthrough about 22 inches. These fish are awesome, they are my favorite of the trout world.
