Not much better than giant Lahontans- I hope I have the chance to fish Pyramid in the future!

I won't be out there on the first but I'm sure I'll head out there in the next few weeks.

Going to be a little warm for the old ladder. Float tubes aired up waiting for the strike of sun rise on Monday. This is going to be a long weekend waiting!:worthy:

Actually the step ladder is to get you up/out of the water if there's a good wind blowing. Wave action can be a '*****' as you have to wade out at least to your 'belly button.' Those short casting ladders make you about 10' tall and get you above the "surf."

I do concure, how ever every year on the opening the fish tend to stay away from shallow water as it is to warm for them. I have a custom built ladder that will be utilized very extensivly thru the winter and spawning months. Nothing better than spending 8 hours standing on a ladder.Actually the step ladder is to get you up/out of the water if there's a good wind blowing.

BC's quite correct; water tends to stay very warm until November (cold nights, far cooler days) and the fish will hold well out below the 'thermocline.' (sp?)

Hit Pyramid on Friday (10-12-12) It was outstanding!! Netted 12 - 9 shook the hook. Biggest fish was 6lbs and I caught my second tagged fish out of Pyramid. I will post the fish data once I hear back from NDOW.

(10-21-12) Netted 2 - 0 shook the hook. Nothing big for the day. 2 fish under 3lbs. 1 took an Olive Pattern and the other a Black Pattern. Winds became to strong for a float tube as well as the current that was on a North Westerly move. I was able to check out some areas with the lower lake level. I also found some old flies that had been snagged on rocks (I will just add them to my collection of old worn out flies).

I am trying to go up on Sat and camp but some things have come up and I'm not 100% sure I'm going. I'll keep you posted if I do.

Last planned trip didn't work out so well but I'm heading up for sure this weekend and will be camping at Pelican if anyone wants to meet up.

2 more 20+ pounders came out this last week!! The fishing is still a bit slow but the fish that are coming out have been bigger than usual. The Pilot Peak strain have really been taking off this year and have been growing at a very rapid pace. This spring should be a blast!! Heading up again on Sat to see if we can find anything.

Hey TD! Are all the Pilot Peak strain fish tagged? I'm hoping to get up there in Feb/Mar some time, when the weather's nasty. milt.

To my knowledge yes. They come from the hatchery down in Gardenerville and grow like wildfire in the wind!

Yes they are all the Pilot Peak strain.
One was a 24lb, 36" out of a secret hole, (just two steps from the north nets:secret::secret Dark patterns. Also try Blockhouse.
Welcome to Pyramid Lake Fisheries!
I have been tying wollies like crazy if anybody needs some not so "box store" patterns. Fair prices of course; I think they will be HOT!
