Pyramid Lake continues to fish better and better

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid Lake continues to fish better and better, and while these storms may not really help the long-term snowpack on the Pacific Crest, it has definitely helped the short-term fishing out here. These smaller and warmer storms have also helped to keep the fishing conditions out here a bit more tolerable, especially compared to this time last year. However, we expect the fishing will slow

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has seen a serious rise in water temperatures this week with the recent rain. We saw the river hit 42 degrees early this week, a pretty serious change from the 32-degree lows seen in the middle of the month. This is due more so to the rain than ambient temperatures. It has additionally lowered water clarity a bit as well, turning the color

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake Report Section by Mike Anderson Pyramid Lake may start fishing well earlier than we’re used to, and here’s why. El Niño years are typically warm and wet.
