Little Lava Lake also has a good callibaetis hatch now and it is important to fish the cycle from Nymphs, Emergers, Duns and Spinners. Nymphs can be under the indicator and a Callibaetis Cate is my #1 choice. The other fun option is stripping the nymphs on a Ghost Tip, Midge Tip, Hover or Intermediate. 
Beetles, Ants and Chubbies are also good dries and Chironomids with an indicator is great. Little Lave is about 16 feet deep at max, so most of this indicator fishing is set from 8 to 14 feet.
