Idaho Fish Report

Paulina Lake was magical one of the days this week. Can you say Bobber Down? Kat and Frank can. Red Chironomids were very hot, followed by a great afternoon dry fly beetle eating session. The next day (if you read our FFP instagram page you’d know this from intel shared Thursday) the fish were eating the Chironomid, but we couldn’t get many fishing under the indicator and went to a trick I learned and used a few times last year from the great Airflo fly line designer Garreth Jones. Using a 3 foot Anchor Tip line and 2 Chironomids, casting out 30-40 feet and S-L-O-W hand twisting it back to the boat was resulting in good takes and action. So, have more than one trick when fishing chironomids.
Balanced Leeches, Leeches, Callibaetis Nymphs (should start seeing the hatch in a week or so) and Damsels are all good.
