Little Lava was our best lake destination this week. Callibaetis are slowing down but we had a good after lunch hatch on Wednesday that brought several fish to net on a #16 dun pattern.
The really good fishing came under an indicator using 2 flies that are not thought of as stillwater flies. One is a fly I have used for 2 seasons and have suggested on a lot of previous reports called the Red Holographic Jig. The other is called a Spicy Squirrel with a Matte Pink bead and I grabbed some of them from the bins the other morning on a hunch based on a some similarities of the last Tasmanian fly with the Hot Orange bead. We were hanging the Spicy Squirrel at the bottom about 4 to 7 feet under the indicator, and the Red Holo Jig as the dropper 24″ above the point fly. Fish ate both well.
My Beetle was also really good in the afternoon and I’d guess we ended with nearly 50 fish to the net at the end of the day.
Lava Lake Resort said the FS is closing the gate to access the Lava Lake Ramp this week. Grrrrrrr. I don’t understand why!?!

I can’t believe that we arrived to Paulina today and docks have been removed. There is an entire damn month......
