Paulina Lake was also good this week, and the beetles were there for the win. Add ants, chubby’s and hoppers. There are a lot of hoppers “clicking” in the hills next to the lake now and for the next 2 1/2 months there will be a lot of opportunity to use a hopper.
Callibaeits are getting better, mostly in the morning, and in July and August this is normal at Paulina.
Indicator fishing with an assassin, red 2 bit, CB cate, ice cream cone and hanging with my chromies, and red holo jigs.
Damsels are increasing in importance now too and both the nymph and adult will be important.
There are 3 important leeches to fish now, Vampire which is all black with a chartreuse bead, brown with an orange bead and a watermelon leech with a gunmetal bead. Typically fish these under an indicator and along the ledges but also the marl spots in the weed beds.
