Paulina Lake Access Report...

Today the 10 mile gate was opened up for access to Paulina Lake. Took a drive up to check it out. We could get all the way up to the resort, but that was it. The road is blocked there. Still can't get to the public boat launch on Paulina, or up farther to East Lake. The launch at the resort is open, and there's a channel through the ice in the lake to get to some open water. The whole West end of the lake is still iced over (about a third of the lake) including the public boat launch. There's around 3 to 4 feet of snow at the campgrounds. Saw a couple boats out going for a trophy brown. The dock at the resort was covered with snow, except for a small trail down the center. Looks like we still need a few weeks of warm weather...crymeariver

You guys have to be tough to fish under those conditions. I can't imagine what snow and ice might do to launch ramp difficulties.
