Paulina Lake is fishing more consistently than East right now. Balanced Leeches and Red PTs under indicators are working well, especially near drop-offs and along the shoals. Stripping Damsel nymphs or small baitfish patterns is also getting attention. When the lake lays down, beetles and ants are a great topwater option.
