Paulina Lake is our deepest we fish, and with that deepness comes a cold water reserve not found in other lakes. But it takes a good wind to churn it up and mix it, and last night and tonight we are seeing some of the coldest nights of late…But gawddamnit the heat is coming tuesday, wednesday and thursday so we will watch out for warm temps along the edges where we fish so much.

Beetles, Ants, Aero Red Legs, Chubbies and Hoppers are king. Balanced Leeches, CB Cate, Red PT, Dark Assassin, Chironomids and Balanced Minnows are good under the indicator on the drop offs and over the weeds.
