Fishing activity notes

All fishing methods work here: bait, lures, flies, still fishing, and trolling which is the most effective. As in Big Lava Lake, lead or sinking lines are needed. The shoreline is similar to big Lava Lake, with bull rushes and some lava outcroppings. The best spot to fish from shore is just north of the boat ramp, but most people fish from a boat. There is a 10 mph speed limit on the lake. There is a small Forest Service campground Little Lava C. G. with a hand pump, out-houses, and a small concrete boat ramp. This is a good lake for small boats and rafts. It also has a shallow wading area for children near the boat ramp. What To Expect Vehicle Access: The lake is 38 miles from Bend on Forest Service Road (Rd. 46). Fishing Access: Little Lava Lake campground and boat Boating Regulations: See boa
