Finally made it back to the lake, Pyramid Lake. Good, good fishing happening out there right now. March is always a good month at the Mid. From now into May, it’s game on.

For a good yo-yo action, add a tadpole approximately 2ft behind a bugger. To get Lohanton Cutthroat trout on the bite, fish balanced leeches under an indicator in the chop. Pay close attention, as the takes

The river looks a bit big today, but should settle when the rain turns too snow tonight. 2-4 feet over the next few days. Time too hunker down and keep the fire stoked and the babies warm and fed. Very blessed too be a Dad.
