You just never know what kind of winter we’ll have. We get pounded with snow, or we don’t. Truckee River is cold and low in Ca. Don’t mean you can’t catch fish. If you know the type

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake Pyramid lake has still been a little hit and miss as far as fishing goes. We really need a good storm and some colder weather to break up the monotony of blue skies and little wind.

Didn’t think we’d have 70 degree
