Paulina Lake is really picking up and is going to be one of my top places as I finish up my season when I am better. When we fished it Wednesday we stuck with the Purple Chubby and a trailed a Red Aero Legs 4 feet behind the Chubby. The fish ate both about 50/50
My friends John and Kris wrote me this morning and said they used Chubby’s yesterday with good success too. 
Had a great mention from our customer Lance about his tactics and success and I wanted to share this too  The lake fished well on Friday, fish seemed to be hanging out on the seam between ledge and drop..  A white BL took several nice bows’ on the north side point, when that slowed down went to chironomids with Chromie’s turning out to be the fly of choice for several more fish.  When it warmed up went to beetles against the shore which amid more misses than hook-ups took three nice fish, all fish were bows’ other than a single decent brown. 
Watch the weather later this week. It looks cold and snowy for 2 or 3 days starting Thursday. That said, the lake is not going to freeze anytime soon if you know what I mean and I think you do. (I must be feeling a little better as my sarcasm is starting to flow)
