The fishing season at Pyramid Lake opens this wekeend, October 1, with fishing typically improving as conditions transition toward winter. Cloudy and stormy days can provide some of the better opportunities, making changing weather patterns worth watching when planning a trip. Early in the season, most fish are still holding in deeper water, which can make shore fishing more challenging. As temperatures continue to cool, fish should gradually move into more accessible water and improve opportunities from shore. The shore bite typically begins to pick up more noticeably during November as colder late-fall conditions settle in.
