Little Lava Lake and Lava Lake have the same report and of course are right beside each other on the Cascade Lakes Hwy. Both are fishing great with a good afternoon callibaetis hatch, a strong bite on beetles and never forget your ants on any of the lakes.

Damsel nymphs, Balanced Leeches (watermelon, bruised and vampire), Chironomids (3 to consider are black ice cream cone with red rib #14-16, hanging with my chromies #16 and olive or red in a #18), Red PT jig, jig CB Cate and poxyback or marabou callibaetis nymphs to strip or use on a dropper tag with the Cate as the point.
I have been noting a lot of Tui Chub in Little Lava this year and emailed with ODFW fish biologist Jerry George who tells me they have observed these Chubs since the 40’s there and he thought this year might be seeing a more mature stage of the chubs that would be schooling. In any case, they are a pain in the ass and I make them bird food when landed and encourage you to do the same.
