Pyramid Lake FIshing Report

While it would be easy to see

High sun and low winds have made fishing slow the last few days

by RENO FLY SHOP

High sun and low winds have made fishing slow the last few days. A silver lining to the tough fishing is that the surface temps have risen nicely from the previous storm. We are seeing fish cruising in the afternoons and we are getting closer to the spawn. We do have a smaller storm system moving in for the next week and I believe this will

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Three weeks in the books for March already, wow time is going fast but there is so much time left to fish before the lake closes at the end of June.
