The recent weather has fish moving at Pyramid Lake, although they haven’t pushed into consistent shore-fishing range just yet. Fish have been spread throughout the water column, with some suspended and others still holding tight to the bottom in 40–80 feet of water.

Paying attention to where they’re holding has been key, so don’t get locked into fishing one depth throughout the day. Stripping vertically through the water column has been the ticket to getting those suspended fish to eat.

We’ve also seen some fish coming on slip-indicator rigs in the 40–60-foot range, making that another option when you find fish holding at a consistent depth.

Overall, the bite has been a little slower than in previous weeks as we work toward the start of more consistent shore fishing. We’re keeping a close eye on that transition and looking forward to having more opportunities from the beach soon!
