Pyramid lake has been fishing incredibly well! Seems to be a trend this year. I’ve noticed a pattern in the last few weeks during these storms that the fish are really focused and feeding when weather patterns stabilize. What I mean by this is, during the recent storms, wind direction changes every few minutes. During which it will begin to snow then stop, then sun will

The striper bite should be picking up near
