Paulina Lake is really getting good for fall. Browns are starting to school up in preparation to spawn, and rainbows are enjoying the cooler water temps on the ledges and edges and are looking to some afternoon hatches of callibaetis, biblio’s, ants, beetles and even hoppers and chubbies. 
Balanced Leech, Red or Tan 2 Bit (sometimes I fish a red on the bottom point position and a tan on the dropper tag under an indicator and I call the set up the 50 cent piece), black double down, balanced minnows, scuds and chironomids. Docks are coming out by mid October I hear. Grrrrrrrrr. Should be in to October 31st to coincide with fishing season, not to make it part of the USFS schedule of convenience.
