Little Lava is a winner and I can’t wait to be back there this week. It is seeing a consistent a quality afternoon callibaetis hatch offering excellent fishing throughout the hatch cycle with nymphs, emergers, duns and at some point spinners will be on the menu as well. I have not yet seen the timing for that, but be ready for it with a spinner pattern to compliment the other flies you carry for the rest of the cycle of this mayfly hatch.
Chironomids and Balanced Leeches will crush fish now. Don’t forget Blood Worms! The lowly blood worm is a creature found hanging out near the bottom, and at times there will be 1000’s and 1000’s of them hovering above the marl, sometimes awash in the wind currents and other times just happily hovering. Think about the happy hoverers and set that indicator deep and keep your fly 10 to 14″ off the bottom.
The Red Holographic Jig and Spicy Squirrel nymphs around the weed beds and marl patches.
