Just a bit of advise for those of you that are going to camp where there are bears. Do NOT put your food in your car. Have you ever seen what a car looked like, that had food in it until a bear decided it wanted dinner? Food in a car is no big deal for a bear. Best bet is to try to hang your food off the ground where a bear can't reach it. Don't take this as being bossy but just good advise I think.
Be safe out there and have fun. Dodie :dance:
I have always kept it in my sleeping bag...no problems so far....
Very depressing, but alas, it'll warm up soon enough, and then...then it's on. (Which will work out better because I'll actually have gas funds by then)About a third of the lake is still iced over on the West end. There's a channel through to open water. The only launch open is at the resort, and the dock had a trail down the middle through the snow. The main road is blocked off just past the resort turn-off, so getting to the campgrounds, public launch, or up to East Lake is not an option yet. Campgrounds had around 3 to 4 feet of snow...
Good advice.For kokanee you could troll with flashers and a redding ring tipped with corn or a dodger with a hoochie. You could jig for them with nordic, buzz bombs or crippled herring jigs. For browns you could troll rapalas. You can also fish for rainbows with powerbait and marshmellow worm combo. I have caught fish there on these method but have not been over ther in serveral years. good luck
Went to Paulina 8/9. Fished from 6-11am. Trolled rapalas from L Crater campground to the red slide - nothing. I haven't figured out the browns yet. Gave up around 10 and pulled out the fly rod and caught 8-14" rainbows solid for the next hour on a mosquito pattern.
