Pyramid Lake has been absolutely outstanding this year. We have released several Trophy Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. At Pyramid Lake Guide Service we change our tactics to address the changing conditions and for the changing feeding mannerisms of the fish. We have fished many different beaches to keep up our clients into fish. We pride ourselves in quality trips, concentrating on personal attention avoiding "cattle drive" guiding. Our Clinic / Seminars are comprehensive hands on workshops designed to teach angling techniques. We have had the pleasure to work with several fly fishing clubs throughout California.
Here are some pictures of this year's season.
It was an absolute pleasure to speak at the Granite Bay Flycasters Club and to host them at Pyramid Lake. We had a blast at Pyramid learning about the lake and getting to know one another. Almost everyone caught fish on a tough day of fishing. Here are some pics of the Clinic.
Pyramid Lake continues to produce some outstanding fish. As most of you know, the weather has a huge impact on the fishing. When the storms move through the fishing pick up greatly. Here are some pics of our trips through the middle of April. Call (775) 722-2267 for a quality trip.

On January 31 we had another killer clinic at Pyramid Lake. Not only did all of our students learn some secrets and techniques on fishing Pyramid but we also released some very nice fish. We got a 10 1/2 pounder in the late afternoon and Blake got a 15 pounder at first light. Our clinics are very educational and are designed for all skill levels. We spent our clinic time teaching all aspects of fly fishing Pyramid. We will be having more clinics throughout the season. Here are a few pics of the day. *We use RIO "OUTBOUND" and "IN TOUCH" fly lines exclusivly in our clinics. Our next Clinic will be on March 14th, call now for a spot! (775) 722-2267

The fishing at Pyramid has slowed down quite a bit for numbers of fish, however it is still producing a few BIG fish. This week we released some outstanding fish with 4 over 12 lbs. With the winter storms coming in, the numbers should pick up. Check the "BLOG" page for a picture of a nice fish released on Tuesday.
The best fly by far this week has been the "Original Popcorn Beetle". Check the "Flies" page for the true history of this pattern. It has stuck more trophy cutthroat at Pyramid than any other fly I know.
Tips :
* Always bring a dry change of clothes
* Bring a shovel in case you get stuck in the soft sand.
* Try to stay on the main dirt roads.
* Check wind conditions before launching any vessel.
Wind direction and speed is essential when fishing Pyramid Lake. For more info on wind conditions go to www.pyramidlakeguideservice.com - click on the "weather button".
Good luck, Have fun!

The opening week at Pyramid was absolutely awesome! Several anglers reported having exceptional angling. Just about every accessesable beach produced. The key to having a big day is to fish in 20 to 30 ft. of water. A float tube, pontoon boat, or a boat is essential. A Tui Chub pattern has been the #1 fly by far. Get the fly down and retrieve it up- be ready! There is a great Tui Chub pattern by Mark Tilton in Terry Barron's book "No Nonsense Guide To Fishing Pyramid Lake". I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. When we fish Pyramid we recommend using 12 or 15 lb. SEAGUAR Fluorocarbon. Pyramid has BIG fish.
Remember, with over 40 years of "real time" fly fishing at Pyramid Lake, the guides at "Pyramid Lake Guide Service" have more experience at Pyramid than ANY other guide service. Our guides fish on their days off and continue to scout for the best possible trip for our clients.
Pyamid Lake Opener Was Happining!
Today October 1, 2014 was opening day at Pyramid, it was very good! The tui chubs were balled up and the cutthroat were on them! We releaded several nice Lahontan Cutthroat today while retrieving tui chub patterns on the north side of the lake. Our leaders were 6ft.long with staight 15 lb. test Seagur. We fished in 25ft. of water, about 30 yards from shore.
Our first Pyramid Lake Clinic will be on October 25, 2014. These clinics are the most conprehensive clinics available. Check out the "Clinics" page at www.pyramidlakeguideservice.com for for info.
On Wednesday October 1st Pyramid Lake opens up for trout angling. Last year was an incredible season and we are looking for more of the same!

On this blog we will continue to give weekly fishing reports of where, when, and what fly patterns are producing at this outstanding fishery.
