Little Lava Lake is good fishing and is a nice size lake for a Tube, Pontoon or Drift Boat.
We are seeing a really good callibaetis hatch here and also taking a lot of fish with ants and beetles.
Callibaetis nymphs can be fished under the strike indicator or stripped with a Ghost Tip, Hover or Intermediate.
Try anchoring in deeper water which at Little Lava seems to be 16′ and use a longer chassis style leader to get a Red Blood Worm 8 to 12″ off the bottom. A slip strike indicator is necessary for this but it is a great way to catch fish here. I find a lot of #18-20 Olive Chironomid Pupa in throat pump samples, but also a fair number of #14-16 grey or black or dusky red pupa too. Fish those patterns on your dropper tag 3 or 4 feet up from the Blood Worm.
