Little Lava Lake is a good choice now, especially from dawn to about 2 or 3, but watch that surface temperature, especially after noon.
Callibaetis hatches have been good. Fish the poxyback nymph or schrantz’s callibaetis nymphs on a sinking line (ghost tip, emerger tip, hover and intermediate + a type 3 if you want to get down below 10 feet). Callibaetis Cate and croston’s callibaetis are good under a drop back bung, NZ wool or oros indicators. When the emergence is on fish the captive dun and a brooks sprout or almost dun, and a sparkle dun is often very effective. For duns, purple haze, olive haze, tilt wing and cut wing/extended body patterns are great. And don’t forget a good spinner to round it out.
Leeches and chironomids and damsels are all in full summer mode now. Plenty of good moments can be spent with those on the end of the line.
