Pyramid Lake - First Hand Report - March 22, 2015

[ryanerb]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the info this site brings.

Just got back from 3 or so days at Pyramid fly fishing.

Here's some quick feedback:

March 19th-22nd 2015
No moon was out
Weather was low 40's at night, and low to high 60's in the day
I think water temp was high 40's
Indicator fishing was fairly slow. Some fish, but not as hot as other years.
Stripping flies seemed way more productive. Typical white/chartruse beetle and black wooly bugger/worm
We saw LOTS of fish cruising in front of the ladders during the day. It seems like they wouldn't bite and weren't too interested in food.
We did see 2 big fish caught over 2 days, but no one in our group caught any big fish (10lbs+)
Seems like our biggest fish was nothing much more than 24"
Top count might have been 10 fish for a person in a 12 hour day. However, most guys only had maybe 2 - 4 fish for a 12 hour day.
Other fisherman near us, presumably better fisherman, did quite well with 10 fish counts (nearly all on the stripping rod)
South nets was packed beyond belief with no slots open on the lineup at sun-up.
Bite seemed better before sunup and after sundown.
Did not venture to any other beaches.
OVERALL, fishing did seem slow to me...I'm not the best fisherman, but 2-4 fish after standing on the ladders from sun-up to sun-down is tough...

Tight lines,
Ryan
