Paulina Lake is fishing really well with some really solid browns coming every day for us now. I had a guide trip there on Friday and we never stopped dry fly fishing from morning to late afternoon. Chubby’s, Beetles, Ants and even a few fish on the Pink Hopper.
My friend Jesse was there the day before and they were using Leeches and Scuds with good success too.
There are no docks in at Paulina now.
Tell me how this makes any sense? In 2020 I launched my boat there in early November using the (still installed) dock at P.L. C.G. In 2021 it was late October they pulled them. 2022 3rd week of October and 2023 it was the 1st weekend of October. This frustrates me, how about you? How can we change the culture at USFS to make them realize facilities are important to coincide with our angling seasons? I’m seeing trends for shorter durations of facilities and this is not good.
