Paulina Lake was really good this week for my friends Tay and Jim. They did best on the drop off zones with Beetles. Ants and Hoppers are often quite good too, sometimes better. I’ve been having really good luck with a Brown Balanced Leech or Watermelon Balanced Leech under an indicator on the ledges. Fishing deeper areas off the drop off or near weed beds and the clear marl spots inside the weed beds is a good bet with the leeches, and also Red PT, Callibaetis Cate, Black Double Down, Hanging with my Chromies and Ice Cream Cones.
