Big Lava Lake - August 1st, 2004
supplied by: [url "http://www.fisheyesoup.com/redir.php?recKey=22,re"]Fly and Field Outfitters[/url]
FISHING: Fair
Algae bloom has cleared, but this lake is a better lure/bait fisherman spot, now. Bigger fish have headed toward the deeper holes as the water has warmed, but there is still some decent fly fishing available along the shallower north shore, and to the west side of the resort.
Olive or rust buggers with a slow retrieve near the shore or drop-offs have been good. The midges are hatching midday and into the evening hours; an indicator with a midge pupa can be deadly. Callibaetis are emerging and the fish know it!
FLIES: Beadhead Olive or Rust Woolly Buggers, Roxy Rainbow, Callibaetis Nymph, Bird's Nests, Frostbite Midge, Black Serendipity & San Juan Worms.
September is not that far away.
