Paulina Lake is really good for rainbows along the shorelines but there is no better time of the year to have the opportunity to catch a big brown. Remember 28.5 pounds is the state record and it came from here. Chubby’s, Beetles, Red Aero Legs and Red Chubbies continue to be very good dries. Run a Lightning Bug, Red Holo and a Callibaetis Cate dropper. 
Fishing under the indicator with balanced leeches and balanced minnows is a wise choice when browns enter the equation. Mid day in the flat from the PL CG Ramp to thew resort and slightly east from there those browns circle around in the deeper water and can be caught on a leech and a scud but patience, a long cast and good retrieve (slow) will pay off. The weather at East and Paulina is going to pretty rough on and off this weekend and next week. Check the Windy App for Paulina and look at the maximum wind speed on some of the days. Believe me when I say some of the days you won’t want to be there. 
If the USFS doesn’t close the snow gate I think the 1st week of November offers some interesting options, though the days will be short it will be worth the 3 or 4 hours you can be on the water. This statement is going to be true for a lot of the lakes as we get to the end of the year of fishable days.
