I wasn’t sure how to approach this, but you know I like to share good info with you. Little Lava Lake is the sleeper that has woken up and I have been up there with amazing fishing. 
It is small, easy to read and figure out. Deep Water Chironomid fishing un a Midge Tip or under the indicator is great. Red Blood Worms, Chromies, Black Ice Cream Cones and Double Down with the Red Rib. 
We hammered fish on a Red Holographic Jig under a Red Tarantula. 
Callibaetis are hatching after lunch and fish are eating all stages of the hatch. They also love a Jiggy Twist Beetle and a Red Hippie Stomper. 
I am in love with the lake right now and seeing a lot of nice Cranebows, and then sadly some ugly hatchery fish that have Copepods (lice) and they don’t look good at all but are a small percent of the daily catch.
