Big Lava Lake - August 10th, 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. IF you wish to throw Type III and Type IV lines and strip buggers, the bigger fish have headed to deeper water. They are holding around 20 feet deep in 25 feet of water. There is still some decent shallow water fly fishing available along the less deep north shore, and to the west side of the resort, especially, in low light conditions.
Olive or rust buggers should be fished with a slow to medium retrieve. The midges are hatching midday and into the evening hours; an indicator with a midge pupa can be deadly. Callibaetis are emerging, but sporadically.
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
