I just returned from Pyramid yesterday and had good luck with a ladder I borrowed from a friend that looked like the one below. I wished that I had a rod holder on it, however, like SHig has done. I was switching between nymphing and stripping but had to run back to the car to do so.
It is just a Werner utility ladder with a platform you can stand on and lean against the top rail if necessary. My friend modified his with large flat plastic feet to keep it from sinking into the sand, but mine without the feet did not sink too badly, depending on the beach.
Here was one of my best fish - caught on a red nymph with a 7-wt bamboo rod.
Landed 8 fish, mostly on red nymphs. One 18-incher got away when a pelican ate it and my flies just before I could land it.
