36-acre lake near Prairie City. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Strawberry Lake draws 30 acres inside 1.1 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 78% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Grant County. The nearest mapped water is Olive Lake, 33 mi to the north.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 25 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 25 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
