Paulina Lake was brilliant on Friday, with good catches on beetles and even better catches on leeches using the Cortland Denny Rickards 7 foot sink tip. I won’t be back up there until Thursday but I am already thinking about what is ahead there. 

I know many of us use bigger boats at Paulina and rely on docks for that entry and exit to and from the lake. If I understand things correctly, the docks will be gone by the 12th which is 2 days from now. This is unacceptable in my book and needs to be addressed with the USFS as we move towards future planning for the season we anglers need them installed. I also believe there will be zero bathroom facilities at Paulina Lake soon as they are going to close the campground at Little Crater. The CG at Paulina Lake is already closed as of late September, including all bathrooms there in the campground and at the boat ramps. I hope I am wrong on this matter but it is gross to think of all the people that are going to go to the bathroom (#1 or #2) in the trees because the USFS wants to lock things up a month before the fishing season is over. Can you say health hazard
