An interesting note on the footage from Oct 4th & 5th is that the fish that were filmed were the Pyramid Strain not the Pilot Peak Strain. The Pyramid Strain has aggressively hunted the Tui Chubs since they (Pyramid Strain) were introduced decades ago. The only reason for more feeding activity by the trout is the fact that there has been a great number of Tui Chubs in the lake recently. A Utah State biologist estimated over 42 million Tui Chubs in Pyramid Lake as of 2013. I got this information from the biologist during his presentation while attending a meeting on Pyramid Lake. Seems like a big number but that was his report.
