Yesterday I was on Paulina Lake for day 1 of the year here. It was good, with Brown Balanced Leech/Orange bead and Vampire Leech/Chartreuse bead, Hanging with my Chromies and while not red hot, we did catch some fish on a beetle too.
What was really fun was seeing the fish in the usual early season places along the drop off zones and in the shallows, but also we used the type 8 full sink and dangled chironomids in 35 feet of water with success.
I expect to see flying ants there this week, because tuesday is going to be very hot.
Water temps is low 40’s.
