Paulina Lake is fishing really well too. Not so much on Callibaetis, but there are some popping off in the AM now. Another thing you should encounter in the AM before the breeze comes up is midges and a Griffiths Gnat is a great fly on the shallow zones when the morning rise occurs. The midges and Callibaetis can be overlapping so it takes some fly changes to fool them some days.
Beetles and Hoppers and Ants and Aero Red Legs are great afternoon dries, and look out for fish eating damsel adults, and grab a real extended body type pattern, but also a Blue Chubby. The Chubby has become my #1 when the trout are up on adults.
Balanced Leeches and 2 Bit Hookers and Red PT’s are awesome now on the ledges and drop off’s. If you don’t have my Brown Balanced Leech with an orange bead for Paulina you should. And also a Water melon Leech and a Balanced Minnow.
