Little Lava Lake continues to be good, with good catch numbers and a nice average size on the fish. 
This has been one exception to the poor dry fly year, as I have had, and have talked to a lot of good fishing friends who have had good callibaetis fishing over the weed beds. Beetles are also a good bet on the lake here, including over the weed beds and along the edges. Ants too. 
Fishing callibaetis nymphs either on a sinking line or under an indicator is super good. Leeches are the same.
