I was supposed to be a Paulina Lake right now, but my customer needed to reschedule because of a bug. I was excited to be back and planned on a lot of type 5 stripping with Orange headed damsels and buggers, Scuds, and Flahsback PT’s. I also was really excited to whack the banks with a Pink Hopper and Beetle combo. But all this will wait until tomorrow when I can go. Paulina has by far the best cold water storage of the Central Oregon lakes, with all that deep water, all it takes is the wind to blow and keep it circulating and overall, water temps seldom get to the unsafe range. But even here, watch the temps this week.
I know I’ll be indicator fishing the ledges with scuds, 2 bit’s, zebra midges and balanced leeches this week too.
