Fish Report for 9-23-2023

Paulina is great

9-23-2023
The Fly Fishers Place

Paulina is great. Ants and Beetles are rocking it, also Balanced leeches and Scuds and some small black Chironomids.
Big Browns are just starting to school up and the next 5 weeks will see some tough, but interesting chase opportunities for these guys. A watermelon balanced leech has been the pattern I’ve done best with. You might try hanging that under a Purple Chubby instead of a “regular indicator” for this Fall period, because the browns like the Chubby too.
