I understand there is a significant surge in COVID-19 cases in the Pyramid Lake community per a recent radio report. I have not been able to find any additional news on this subject.

I checked the ir FB page. Its posted to reopen Nov. 2nd pricing has been also added.
As I have never been, how do this season vs. Previous seasons pricing compare?
Looks steep..

Well, here you go ICE.............................:mad::mad::mad:

Last years seasonal (2019-2020) permit was $ 96.00.

This year (with the new pricing schedule and no seasonal permits) if I did my once a week trip, It'd cost me:

$ 24.00 per day X 4 weeks = $ 96.00 per month.
$ 96.00 per month X 8 months (2020 fishing season) = $ 768.00. :mad::mad::mad:


Looks like the Paiute Tribe priced me away from the lake.
Mummm ............. I may give it a try once or twice this year. :mad::mad::mad:


Two words ............................... financial sodomy. :mad::mad::mad:

Remember these new prices and restrictions are only for the period of Covid. They will revisit these prices and restrictions once we are out of the Covid woods.

I wonder if that will be the case- I don't see where they tie the increase directly to covid related factors in the document.

[Darian]

Not sure whether the new fees will continue into the future but it looks like the number of camping permits issued is being limited (with the exception Pelican Bay) to accommodate social distancing. The higher cost of daily fishing fees will take care of that concern as BSs' post reflects. So, maybe the fee increase will be revised downward when the Tribal Council removes their emergency declaration.... (or not)

[ICE]

So does one need both a fishing permit and day-use permit? And also if one was to go camp there does the camping include the day-use permit and or fishing permit? To me it looks like you would need to permits purchased for a day of fishing please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ice,

A Pyramid Lake fishing permit includes "day use".

Camping permits are purchased separately from the "day use or fishing" permit and DO NOT include fishing or day use.

Let's say you wanted to camp two nights and fish for two days......................

You'd need to purchase two nights camping permit(s) @ $ 32.00 X 2 = $ 64.00.
You'd need to purchase two days fishing permit(s) @ $ 24.00 X 2 = $ 48.00.

So, for you to camp two days and fish from shore (no boat) for 2 days, your $ outlay would be $ 112.00.

You make the judgement on whether or not this a "good deal", or if you're "being gouged". :mad::mad::mad:

I know they said it was because of COVID but I’m skeptical that they will drop the price back if they make as much or more money than pre-COVID revenue. If enough folks show and pay the increased price why would they drop it back? Many of us who live on the east side of the Sierra will consider reducing our fishing days there. Looks like I’m going to learn to fish the Truckee better in the winter or Lahontan Reservoir for white bass and wipers. Possibly learn float n fly too. There are a lot of options out there.

Unlike other pay to play fisheries, Pyramid is 100% funded by tax dollars.

I'd take white bass and wipers over a Lahontan any day. Don't care how big they get.

Sorry guys, I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here,...................but,...................... ..........

Here's a Paiute Tribe Press Release, dated yesterday, October 28, 2020.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/PyramidLakePaiuteTribe/posts/?ref=page_internal

The tribe has included a stipulation that "only limited amounts of daily permits will be sold at the Ranger Station in Sutcliffe, and online".

So, beware, even if you'd like to fish Pyramid at the "new" current price structure, you still might not get to since the tribe is going to limit the number of daily users. :mad::mad::mad:

What a cluster "f".
