FISHING PYRAMID LAKE
By John Daniels
Pyramid Lake in Nevada is about as unique a place to fish as you will ever find. Nestled in a desert valley northeast of Reno and fed by the Truckee River, Pyramid is home of the Lahontan Cutthroat. During the late fall the fish are not schooled up as they are in the spring, but they are still cruising the flats looking for food. The weather is usually overcast and the wind will often come up so the fish are a little less wary than they are earlier in the year. In the fall, and through the winter, the chance for a big fish is generally much better than in the spring.
At the time of this writing, it is unclear if most are going to be staying in town or at the lake so we are going to split the difference and plan on gathering at the Pyramid Lake Store ( 29555 Pyramid Hwy., Sutcliffe, NV) at 9:00am on Saturday. There is a lot of coastline to fish and almost all of it will produce but we will start out on the west side where we can spread out a lot of people. Assume we will start at Separator beach north of Sutcliffe Saturday morning, and move on from there depending on where the fish are and of course the wind. Some will be going up Friday to fish, and Sunday is open to either fish the lake again, or hit the Truckee area on the way back.
LODGING: At the time of this writing, it is unclear if most are going to be staying in town or at the lake Each member is responsible for booking their own lodging.
