Fall opens up good opportunity to fish for big brown trout at Paulina and East. A lot of this comes on chub streamers, leeches and scuds.
Both of these lakes will offer good beetle fishing on top for the next week or two. I’ve caught fish on beetles with snow flakes falling in October, so never give up.
Docks are being removed so keep this in mind if your boat requires a dock to launch so you aren’t surprised and disappointed when you get there.
I’m going to call the USFS Bend office tomorrow and get an update on docks for the week. I’m hopeful to use the big boat this week but prepared with the drift boat if need be.
