New Ladders Help Spawning Fish - The Strawberry Anglers...

By Julie King USFS Ranger, Heber District

Strawberry biologists have noted that spawning Kokanee salmon experience difficulty in passing through beaver dams that block their upstream migration during the spawning season. How-ever, rather than remove the dams, the Heber Ranger District of the Uinta National Forest and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources have been experimenting with fish passage structures to help cutthroat trout and Kokanee salmon to get over beaver dams and migrate upstream. These fish ladders, built of plywood and staked in place with steel posts, have a series of baffles that aid the fish in their effort to swim up and over the dams. The beavers seem to ignore the ladders, which channelize the outflow of water from their ponds. The first fish ladder was in-stalled in 2003 and three more in 2004 in the Strawberry River drainage. The design was based on ones that have been used successfully in the Pacific northwest for sockeye salmon on their journey from the ocean to spawning beds.

The Strawberry Watershed Report, which was completed in 2004, included as one of its primary findings the fact that historically thousands of beaver populated the watershed and maintained

vast wetlands and floodplains along with re-juvenating aspen stands and willows. Wil-lows were sprayed in the 1950s-60s in much of the Strawberry Valley. As food supplies and essential dam building materials became more scarce, beaver populations were forced to retreat to isolated pockets and headwater areas away from human impacts.

The Strawberry Watershed Report also rec-ognized that beaver activity has helped to create the landscape and could address many of the current limiting factors to water quality and fish habitat in the streams. Beaver could also play a large role in returning and main-taining upland vegetation types to aspen stands which provide better ground cover and erosion control, provide the most diverse wildlife habitat, and are more resilient to fire than conifer stands. However, Strawberry Reservoir is well rec-ognized as a very important fishery resource for the state. The objectives for natural fish reproduction cannot be met with vast beaver dam complexes and barriers to migration. Both the DWR and the U.S. Forest Service have agreed that there has to be a "happy me-dium" as an answer to objectives for the land/vegetation and for fish reproduction and de-cided to approach the problem with fish pas-sage structures.

THE “BERRY” GOOD NEWS

This year, DWR personnel, dedicated hunters, and SAA volunteers have combined efforts to keep predatory birds away from critical spawn-ing habitat. Boats, propane cannons, and stakes tied with fluttering tinsel have been used in the past with limited success. However, the best solution appears to be a human presence near the mouths of Strawberry’s streams. The pelicans soon get the idea that they are not welcome and fly off, allowing the salmon to move upstream and reproduce unmolested. While performing his pelican hazing assignment, SAA volunteer Steve Linde took the opportunity to wander the shoreline and even do a little float tube fishing near Indian Creek. Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Steve makes his home in Salt Lake City and has fished Strawberry Reser-voir since 1955. Steve worked the 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM shift and, if he needed to get out of the sun for awhile, could rest inside a small trailer provided by the DWR. Other SAA members who volunteered to haze pelicans include Bran-don Anderson, Val John Halford, Richard Tay-lor, Jim Carter, Richard Bojanowski, John McKnight, and James Roth.

By Val John Halford The DWR and the Strawberry Anglers Associa-tion have teamed up to keep predatory pelicans away from Kokanee salmon spawners. American White pelicans, whose numbers have increased significantly within the last several years, congre-gate near the mouth of Trout Creek, Indian Creek, and the Strawberry River during the fall to prey upon spawning salmon.

The annual migration of Strawberry’s salmon to their spawning beds is filled with peril. The fish are compelled to run a gauntlet of birds blocking the entrance to tributaries entering the Reservoir. The water level in the streams and creeks is low, offering little cover for the brightly colored fish, making them easy for the birds to spot. On sev-eral occasions Strawberry biologists have ob-served large concentrations of salmon milling around near a stream entrance too intimidated by pelicans to enter the narrow and shallow channel.

Fall at Strawberry - My Favorite Time

I started watching them through my binoculars and they were catching fish one after another. Not wanting to crowd in on their spot we de-cided to find a shallow draw of our own. We soon learned that not all shallow water is created equal. We found out that the big cutthroats were mainly in areas with submerged brush and gen-erally in less than 6 feet of water. When we’d find a shallow brushy area the big cutthroat trout were very cooperative with Gary catching them on dark colored wooly buggers while I contin-ued to use tube jibs successfully. Instead of catching a half dozen fish a day we were catch-ing half a dozen from each location. We had two days where we each caught several cutthroat trout over 20 inches. Our biggest was 24 inches. It’s that experience that has me excited about the new regulations on Strawberry Reservoir and the future of the fishery on the ‘Berry. Now in our second summer under the slot limit I’m hearing of more big fish and I’m also planning another fall trip to Strawberry. Big cutthroat are in the shallows feeding on minnows. The new regula-tions are allowing more fish to reach a larger size where they’ll eat chubs and shiners. Strawberry is our top trout fishery in the state. Its reputation attracts thousands of anglers from within Utah and around the country. It provides life long memories with its abundant population of large fish. I’ve enjoyed making and sharing memories with people from all over the country on Strawberry and I’m looking forward to an-other great fall and the to catch some big fish.

By Tom Pettengill DWR Sport Fisheries Coordinator

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, the big cutthroat trout at Strawberry start to feed in the shallows. I really enjoy casting tube jigs for those big cutthroats and the recent cooler weather has me thinking about some fall fishing.

A couple of years ago a buddy from Michigan called and accused me of holding out on him. He’d watched some TV show that told about all the big fish in Strawberry and I’d never men-tioned the water to him. After a brief discussion he made plans to come out the end of September and we’d spend a couple of days on the ‘Berry. I’d heard about the great fall fishing at Strawberry every since I moved to Utah in the 1970’s but I’d always heard it was a night fishing venture when it was very cold in late October and November. That didn’t sound like much fun. When my buddy got here we headed out to catch some big cutthroats. He’s an avid fly fisher and I planned to fish with jigs. We started out in deeper water and we were catching a few fish, but the action was slow. We caught a couple of fish over 20 inches that first day. We also noticed a couple of boats fishing close to shore but didn’t pay much attention. Big mistake! The next morning we were out bright and early. A boat was trolling along the shoreline near the mouth of the Strawberry River. We kept fishing deep. The boat kept fishing the same shoreline and made several passes through the same area.

By Carl Adams Utah Division of Water Quality

For almost a year, Strawberry Reservoir has been the subject of a water quality study being con-ducted by the State of Utah Department of Envi-ronmental Quality, Division of Water Quality. Richard King and consulting engineers from the PSOMAS company have been hired to help in this effort. The research study, called a Total

Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report, will ex-amine several important water quality related is-

sues including phosphorus levels, dissolved oxy-gen levels, and water clarity. Strawberry Reser-voir has been assessed by the Division of Water Quality as only partially supporting cold-water fishing due to high concentrations of phosphorus and low concentrations of dissolved oxygen dur-ing certain times of the year. The overall pur-pose of the study is to gather available data from the streams and Reservoir to determine if, and to what extent, the fisheries are impaired. Engineers and researchers have already discov-ered a few interesting facts. For example, the total amount of phosphorus entering Strawberry from its rivers and streams is approximately 14,000 lbs. per year, which is low for a lake of this size. Deer Creek Reservoir was analyzed two years ago and has a level of phosphorus twice that of Strawberry. In addition to gathering data, PSOMAS and the State of Utah have involved local officials and other interested stakeholders including the Friends of Strawberry Valley. A better under-standing of current conditions and operations will help with needed changes in management. Additionally, implementation priorities will be proposed and problem areas within the water-shed will be addressed. The study is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Water Quality Study Underway

By Jim Carter Over the past several months, the Blue Ribbon Fisheries Advisory Council has met to consider adding several important lakes and streams to the list of Utah’s blue ribbon waters. The streams being considered for blue status are Lost Creek, Chalk Creek, East Fork of the Little Bear River, Beaver Creek (Weber River tributary), the Weber River (from Uinta City to Mountain Green, from the Stoddard Diversion to Echo Dam, and above Rockport Reservoir), Ashley Creek (from the Thornburg division to Spring Creek), the Yellow-stone River (from the Crystal Ranch to the USFS boundary), and the Strawberry River (from Star-vation Reservoir to the Pinnacles). Possible blue ribbon lakes and reservoirs include Brough Reservoir, Montes Creek Reservoir, Cot-

tonwood Reservoir, Crosue Reservoir, Lake Canyon Lake, Sheep Creek Lake, Starvation Reservoir, and Steinaker Reservoir. Also discussed by the Blue Ribbon Fisheries Advisory Council are four general management concepts for blue ribbon waters, which are: • Basic Yield Waters - Waters that would be well stocked with fingerling and catchable fish with no special regulation restrictions. • Intensive Yield Waters - Streams and lake that would be stocked with high numbers of catchable fish, such as urban fisheries. • Wild Fish Waters - Lesser known waters that would not be stocked, allowing for natural repro-duction, and with special fishing restrictions. • Trophy Waters - Trophy waters would in-clude more popular waters with large trophy-sized fish or specialized fishing.

chromed brass and then formed into its trade-mark curved or waved fashion by tightening a press that held the steel molds. Two small holes were drilled into top and bottom of each disc allowing for two split rings to be attached to each wobbler. A single treble hook was then slipped onto the bottom ring and a swivel was threaded on the top ring. To complete the proc-ess, each wobbler was usually painted in a vari-ety of colorful schemes and patterns. Several employees at Geneva Steel also started manufac-turing the wobbler in their spare time, but it was Mitchell who secured a patent for the lure’s unique design and mass production. The Strawberry wobbler was manufactured in several sizes, packaged 4 or 5 to a card, and sold in local tackle shops and fishing supply stores. Mitchell employed his family members in manu-facturing and distributing the finished product. The boys would stamp out the lures in different sizes, attach the spilt rings and hooks, and the girls would apply various patterns of paint on one side. Anglers experimented to find just the right color and size to attract Strawberry’s big rainbow and cutthroat trout. Lamar Edwards recalled that he and his fellow fishermen would troll the wobbler very slowly on lead core line, usually four colors deep. Some anglers trolled their wobblers behind pop gear and sweetened the hook with a nightcrawler or dead minnow. Unfortunately, the Strawberry wobbler seems to have gone the way of the Reservoir’s wooden row boats and old fishing camps. However, the name lives on at the Strawberry Bay Marina. Perhaps to honor this local legend, Jon and Paul Phillips, the owners of the Marina, have named their restaurant, “The Strawberry Wobbler.”

By Val John Halford

Any legendary trout water is likely to have origi-nated equally legendary tackle to catch its big fish. Such is certainly the case with Strawberry Reservoir. The Strawberry wobbler, now virtu-ally extinct, was an indispensable tackle box item just a decade or so ago. Younger anglers may not recall this famous fishing lure, since it’s no longer commercially manufactured, but old time fisher-men can easily recollect many fond memories of the wobbler’s seemingly mythical powers.

Reputed to have been developed by Charlie Madsen, one of Strawberry’s first guides and fish camp owners, the wobbler appears as a nonde-script, flattened “S”curved spoon that sported a variety of different color schemes and patterns. An employee of the Madsen's, Shorty Goodel would make Strawberry wobbler lures while guiding fishing clients in his boat. Using a block of wood that was once part of an old fence post, Shorty carved out a shallow, round indentation which he used as a crude mold. With a leather hammer, he would gently pound out the general shape of the lure from pre-cut, soft brass discs, attach the hook, and tie the handmade contraption to his client’s line. The Strawberry wobbler proved to be a very effective means of catching the Reservoir’s large trout. According to Lamar Edwards, a Utah County resident and lifelong fisherman of Strawberry, Madsen’s wobbler remained a guarded secret from its conception in the late 1940's until Brig-ham Mitchell began to manufacture this proven piece of tackle. During the early 1950's, Mitchell used a specially designed press to copy a wobbler he discovered inside a trout he had caught. A disc pattern was cut from a sheet of copper or

The Strawberry Wobbler was invented by a Utah angler, fishing guide Char-lie Madsen, and has been used successfully at the reservoir for over 40 years.

2004 FOSV “Wildlife Festival”

By Kayla Willey One couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful weekend to hold the Friends of Strawberry Valley

“Wildlife Festival” than this past September 10th through 11th. The weather was beautiful and the early fall colored leaves made a spectacular backdrop for the event. The Kokanee salmon were in abundant numbers this year, and bi-ologist Roger Wilson re-ported that there were so many bus loads of school children at the Strawberry fish trap on Friday that he almost lost his voice.

Daniels Summit Lodge was the location for most of the other activities of the Festival. The display area included about a dozen different organiza-tions and vendors. The Strawberry Anglers Asso-ciation had a booth and sponsored an auction for some great merchandise. SAA’s own Steve Neff had spent time this summer making attractive wooden lamps to sell.. There were two jewelry vendors this year. One of the highlights this year were some very beautiful fish mounts. The U.S. Forest Service was there along with Smokey the Bear, and several other organizations including Recycle Utah, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and the OHV safety group provided great information about the environment and recreational activities available in the Strawberry Valley. The Utah Chapter of the Audubon Society sponsored a bird walk and had a

booth at Daniels Summit Lodge that sported a pelican wind sock! New this year was a popular booth sponsored by the Central Utah Water Con-servancy District. Each day there were five formal presentations offered in the conference room at the Lodge. Some of the topics included Strawberry Valley sage grouse, Strawberry Reservoir and the Cen-tral Utah Water Project, boating safety, fishing for rainbows at Strawberry, and Strawberry fish-ery status and the new fishing regulations. Each year you learn more and more about Strawberry by attending these presentations. Roger Wilson reported that the New Zealand mud snail had been discovered on the Strawberry River at the bridge where Highway 40 crosses over the river. The attendance was fairly steady, but not crowded. Julie King of the U.S. Forest Service commented that several people had mentioned to her that they make a point of coming to the Fes-tival each year. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a very pleasurable event to attend.

The Strawberry Anglers Association extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Kevin Conway, Director of the Utah Division of Wildlife Re-sources since 2002. Kevin passed away on Sep-tember 8th after a courageous battle with cancer. Conway’s service to the citizens of Utah extends back to 1975 when he began his career with the DWR. He served in various capacities in the di-vision’s Law Enforcement Section for more than 20 years. Conway became director of the DWR in 2002 and immediately launched the most ambi-

tious habitat initiative ever attempted in Utah, the creation of a far reaching plan aimed at re-storing one million acres of essential habitat. Throughout his career, Conway was a strong advocate for hunters, anglers, and those who en-joy viewing Utah’s wildlife. The SAA wishes to thank Kevin for his dedication and service In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a contri-bution may do so to the Strawberry Anglers As-sociation or other organizations listed at http://www.willife.utah.gov/kevinconway/.

Tips From Tullis for Fall Fishing

Larry Tullis, renown local angler, fishing guide, and author, shared one of his favorite tactics for fishing success at Strawberry Reservoir during a recent SAA business meeting. With fly rod in

hand, Larry often imitates the daphnia (water fleas) that cluster in the water at Strawberry dur-ing the fall each year. If you tried to tie up an individual daphnia “bug” you would need to use a size 64 hook! Since the daphnia seems to clus-ter, he tries to match the color of the daphnia clusters by fishing a variety of mohair leeches to imitate a cluster of daphnia. In the spring, Larry has noted that the daphnia tend to be a tan/olive color and he fishes a Cana-dian Brown Mohair Leech. However, during the fall the daphnia are a more rusty, orange color. The trick to imitating daphnia clusters is to strip your fly line very slowly, only an inch a second, using slow sink line, and to keep your position stationery in the water as much as possible. Larry has found switching over to target the daphnia feeding fish often brings good results on days that other fly fishing methods at Strawberry prove ineffective.

months to hatch, volun-teers will make a consid-erable investment in time and effort. TU’s incubator has been used on the Henry’s Fork River, the Strawberry River near Starvation Reservoir, Parley’s Creek, and in the Deep Creek Mountain Range of western Utah. De-pending on water tem-perature and disease con-trol, between 45 and 98 percent of the eggs in the incubator hatch out. When compared to natu-ral spawning, with a 3 to 7 percent success rate, TU’s hatch box is a big improvement on nature. If you interested in help-ing out with the hatch box, contact Roger Wil-son or Paul Dremann.

Incubator Box a Big Success Trout Unlimited’s hatchery box may be used again this winter to help incubate and hatch out Kokanee salmon eggs. Following the failed ex-periment last winter, TU volunteers, including Brock Richardson, moved the hatchery box fur-ther up Trout Creek near a small spring. The re-located box was used this past June to success-fully hatch out 12,000 cutthroat eggs. Richardson, who lives in Salt Lake City, made a total of seventeen trips to Trout Creek over an eight week period to check up on the cutthroat eggs. Other volunteers from the Stonefly Society and the Utah Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited also assisted in this worthy task. Once the eggs hatched, DWR personnel captured the fry in a small seine bucket and moved them downstream past several beaver dams. The young fish will imprint on Trout Creek and return to the stream when mature to reproduce. If the hatch box experiment is repeated during the winter for Kokanee salmon, volunteers will be needed to periodically visit the eggs and apply a formaldehyde treatment to prevent fungus. Dead or diseased eggs will also need to be removed. Trips to the hatchery box will require a snowmo-bile, and since Kokanee eggs take over three

DWR biologists and TU volunteers check-up on hatch box to insure that the eggs are free of silt and fungus.

It was a picture perfect day at Strawberry, bright blue skies, sunshine, and not a lick of wind for the Strawberry Angler's Association Barbeque on August 14th. Vice-President Steve Carter and his son had been out on the lake trolling that morning with a lot of success. Reports indicated that the rainbows were biting at the Ladders.

Roughly fifty peo-ple, many of them families with chil-dren and grandchil-dren, gathered at the Strawberry Bay Marina at 3:00 in the afternoon to enjoy the barbeque and to share good conversation. The food, as always, was excellent. Ma-rina employees cooked up all of the

hot dogs and hamburgers. It was a very pleasant afternoon. Several kids took a chicken leg out on

a string and caught themselves a few crayfish that they planned to enjoy later that evening. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary was also out in force that day conducting free boat inspections. All in all, it was a nice day to be on the lake and to enjoy the great outdoors. Many thanks to all those who participated at this year’s SAA Barbe-que and especially those who brought such a va-riety of delectable dishes to share.

Report on 7th Annual SAA Barbeque

Are Cutthroat an Endangered Species? Several environmental groups, including the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Center for Biological Diversity, Pacific Rivers Council, and the Biodiversity Conservation Alliance are seeking a reversal of a 2001 decision to leave the Bonneville cutthroat trout off the list of endan-gered species. On September 8, 2004, representa-tives from these groups filed a 60-day notice of

intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service claiming that the agency failed to use the best available scientific information in its decision to deny the Bonneville cutthroat the added protec-tion afforded endangered species. A petition to list the Bonneville cutthroat as an endangered species was filed in February 1998. According to the Center for Biological Diver-sity, the population of Bonneville cutthroat has been eliminated from about 90 percent of its range and continues to be threatened by non-native trout, such as the rainbow. However, USFWS spokeswoman Diane Katzenberger said, “The Bonneville cutthroat population remains widely distributed, viable and self-sustaining.” Although not native to the Colorado River drain-age, of which Strawberry Reservoir is a part, the Bear Lake strain of the Bonneville cutthroat was planted in Strawberry in 1990. The introduction of these fish was part of the management plan to help control rough fish populations. The listing of the Bonneville cutthroat as an endangered species may have implications for anglers at Strawberry Reservoir.

Steve Carter’s grandchildren enjoyed crayfishing.

Our findings so far are that beaver are very smart and it is difficult to keep the structures open and functional. It takes a certain amount of periodic maintenance and persistence to troubleshoot de-sign and outsmart beaver at the same time. However, the experiment seems to be working. Ron Smith, a fisheries biologist for the Uinta Na-tional Forest, has observed fish using the ladders this past season. These same fish ladders also serve as secure passageways for the downstream migration of hatched out trout and salmon fry. Ron is excited about coming up with a successful design and maintenance program that is feasible for both agencies over the long term. For now the fish ladders in the Strawberry Valley remain an experiment and a work in progress. Perhaps someday the ladders might prove to be a
