Pyramid Report

[Reno Flytyer]

Hey Digger, thanks for the report. RE: Your fly being obliterated...it doesn't look like you've given it a thread base before tying on the other materials. They won't hold up long if you don't provide a base...just sayin'. Maybe you did...?? Looks like you're going to have a great season out there this year.

Shig says he wants to be there at first light...he'll probablyl beat the sunrise because HE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ANY SLEEP!!

Too bad I couldn't sleep on the LEADING edge of my rest. Oh well, got up at the alarm and managed to get to the lake before the sun hit the water, though it was light enough to set up without trouble.

So?

Big, fat, stinky skunk. Got one on and unbuttoned in enough time to realize what was happening and to see the flash and one follow. That's IT! Chucked from a ladder and kicked in a tube (no fish on the sonar). North Nets beach until mid-afternoon and home in time for dinner.

Meh... Still, met up with a great bunch of guys I became acquainted with first this spring and they treated me to a great (and coma inducing) lunch. Maybe that's why I didn't cash in on that fish?

Next time...

The shallow beaches will be tough right now until the water cools off. This colder weather we are having right now should help out. The key to Pryamid right now is to move around to find fish. I will usually fish 45 min. to an hour or so, and if there is no action load up and hit another spot...sometimes just moving down the beach you're already fishing will produce. I even like to find the deeper drop offs and just walk along and cast, it can break up the boredom of casting from your chair in the same spot for 5 or 6 hours.

Yeah, if I'd been fishing solo I'd've moved, but sometimes fishing with friends and getting skunked is better. Water was 54 - 56 so not too warm but for sure there wasn't a great concentration of fish where we were fishing.

After I left, however, my buddy did hook into a HAWG (10+?) that manage to break him off - and he uses STOUT tippet (IIRC 15-20#).

I wasn't trying to single you out Shig...I know you know your stuff. Just general info for folks coming over to fish Pryamid. I know its a bit farther to drive, but do you guys ever fish the east side of the lake?

No worries! Didn't take it as a jab. I hear the east side can be good at the right time, but the roads out are less than perfect.

My "ladder truck" probably wouldn't make it!

I was fishing down the beach from you and there were fish being caught,but not by me.I left around 11 and fished Seperator for a couple hours hooking 2 and missing two other grabs.Black buggers and popcorn beetles.
The popular western beaches all have fish right now.Not a ton but enough to keep one occupied.I have had several reports from a number of beaches and there are fish to be caught.A few over 10 as well.

Its 2am in the morning and just got back from Pyramid. Trying to unwind from 9hour drive. Fishing was tough, ended up with 30 fish in three days and my buddy with 12 for three days work. Fished Warrior first day, landed 7 fish stripping. My buddy wasnt catching anything and wanted to go to Pelican so we went over in the afternoon. He landed 5 and I didnt even get a strike. Fished Blockhouse last hour of day and didnt get a strike stripping. Went back to Warrior next morning, I landed 4 in the morning and he didnt get any. Went to Wino and ended up with 9, nothing on the strip just indicator fishing the drop off! Buddy wanted to go to Pelican the next morning, he landed three and I landed two. Moved back to Wino, I caught 8 and he landed 7, all on the indicator and fishing the drop off.

Tough fishing but cant wait to get back there again!
