Fished Pyramid again today.
On the water @ 7:20 a.m. and out @ 3:15 p.m.
The day went kinda' like this:
Woke up at 4:00 a.m. and the outside temperature was 46 degrees.
Wow, what a treat.
Most mornings in the last few weeks have been in the teens...........this was more like it.
I packed the car, downed the coffee, and "I'm off to the races".
As I drive over the crest on Pyramid Highway and see the lake, ugh........looks like it's going to be a tough one today.
The wind was blowing (hard may I add) from the North/North East and the breakers and white caps were visible on the shoreline as far north and south as I could see from the road.
The sky was mostly clear today with very few clouds.
I suit up, grab the switch with the indy rig and head out into the
surf.
I wade the shoreline without a ladder.
The water was very cloudy/dirty from all of the wave action (probably all of last night) due to the wind, out past casting range.
As a matter fact, while standing in thigh deep water, I couldn't see my wading boots !!!!!
I took a few pretty good "hits" from the breakers/swells and thought to myself............."Am I going to have to wear a jock strap and cup when it's windy like this from now on ?" !!!!!!
At the peak of my battle with the
surf, I think I may have missed a strike.
The wind started to ease-up and I finally landed a rat on a Mahalo Nymph around 11:00 a.m. and that was it for me today.
Yep, I went 1 for 2, period, end of story, nuthin' else for me.

Some of the "regulars" that fish @ Wino left early grumbling about how slow it was for them too.
I did meet and chat with Bob from Sparks (formerly from Susanville) who lurks and sometimes posts here.
I netted a beautiful 12-15 lb'er for him.
WAY TO GO BOB !!! That fish was a beauty !!!!
So there you have it, another rookie/amateur Pyramid report.
