Paulina Lake this week for me was a challenge. I heard the same from a few other friends. After Doug’s report we were all psyched to go, but again I think the hot dry days and the super High Pressure system that created the East Winds just put the fishing off at East and Paulina for a few days. 
We got some fish on Red Tarantula, Jiggy Twist Beetles, Ants and Callibaetis (Olive Haze as a matter of fact) but nada on the hoppa! Fricken Fish. Also got a couple of fish to eat the Red Holographic Jig. 
Recommend Balanced Leeches, Red and Tan 2 Bit Hookers, Chironomids, Blood Worms, Double Down’s, Scuds (one stomach pump sample showed a lot of tiny scuds)
