Paulina Lake was good right after launching the boat this week with a Dark Assassin and CB Cate with the Bung Indicator. If you question the Bung, ask my clients Rich and Tim, as Tim had a Bung and Rich a Sphere (oros) and Tims fish count was way higher with the same 2 flies. We switched Rich to the bung and he maybe didn’t catch up completely but gave it a valiant effort with some good numbers. 
I finally found some fish down the south shoreline but the east and north shorelines are still holding the most trout. 
We had good success on a Bionic Ant to begin with, but later the Beetle was better. But….this time the fish were doing a “drive by” on my Jiggy Beetle and I switched the guys over to a lower floating beetle and the success was immediate. 
Sometimes when it’s calmer the Jiggy is a high profile with 2 stacks of foam and not right for the situation on this day. An easy fix with a lower profile beetle, and yes the lower profile is harder to see on the water. 
Also grab some Flag Ants, and add a few Callibaetis emergers and duns and spinners as July and August see the best mayfly hatches of the year on Paulina and they were popping a bit on Wednesday. Morning hatches are usually the best before the wind comes on. 
Balanced leeches, damsels and chubbies are 3 more flies essential for the week ahead.
