First off this is a copy of what I just posted on the central Oregon side , but I figured my valley folk might be interested as well.
Hey everyone , I literally just walked in the door . Home from Paulina Lake.
So here is my report , we started Friday evening around 6pm out by the slide bottom fishing with powerbait landed 2 rainbows of no particular size the bigger of the 2 was maybe 14".
Then around 8pm we started what we had set out to do , hunt the Browns we worked the point and the cove ( some people call the bay ) about 2 minutes in we hooked our first brown , we had 5 people in the boat 1 driver and 4 Rapala throwers. We worked the shoreline up until almost dark , boating about 12 browns and 1 rainbow. We kept 9 that night tossing anything under 15" back the 2 big ones that night was a 19" brown and a 19" rainbow .
( Also that night just east of the point a little ways is a hot springs in the water that is blocked off with logs. Well one of my casts sailed a little bit landing in the hot springs almost taking out a lady relaxing in it . She was kind enough to throw it back in the water for me ... If you are her and reading this I would like to take this time to apologize.)
Saturday night we decided not to bottom fish and just hit shallows by 7. We had our first hook-up after the 3rd cast and managed to boat another 8 or 9 browns keeping just 4 of them. The big brown of this night was 21". Both nights we missed probably 15 browns a couple jumped and shook the hook and a few others just swam toward the boat and spit the hook.
The funny part of the trip Friday night there were several boats out there fishing for kokanee with no luck , while we drifted by hooking up left and right. Saturday night the same thing except one boat yells over to us , what are you using we yelled back Rapalas , they picked up anchor and appeared to hit the point . We then floated by our camp neighbors and they were sitting there jigging with no luck and asked if we had any bites , I said we have landed 6 right when he said we haven't even had a bite , we hooked into another brown.
All in all it was a great trip . If anyone wants any more specific information feel free to message me . I will be happy to help ya out for this lake

Seems like Paulina is the place to be if you want to keep the fatties.
