We were up there Tuesday as well. We thought the same thing with the storm coming in that the fishing would be very good. You did better than we did. It was a bust for us. Very slow. We tried everything. I caught one using a slip bobber down to 3 ft but the rest we caught on tube jigs tipped with a worm. We fished both north and south shorelines in the Indian Creek arm plus fished in the middle too.
The wind was coming from the west when we started at 7:30 and stayed the same most of the morning. It did calm down a little but not for long and then when we left at noon it was coming from the east at a pretty good blow. The old timers that had cabins at the different camps all had the saying: 'wind from the east the fish bite the least'. This had held pretty ture for all the years that I've fished Strawberry. When I check the National Weather Service forcast for wind conditons at Strawberry and it says east winds I stay home but it didn't have it listed this time.
