Hello,

My name is Mike, I reside in Northern Nevada and utilize a PA14. Pyramid Lake is my home water, but travel everywhere from the Eastern Sierras to the California Coast on an almost monthly basis.

Welcome!

Do you fish for the large cutthroats in Pyramid Lake?

Welcome, heard Pyramid Lake is killer fishing. Any advice on how to fish that lake, it's huge!

I've caught cutthroat out of Pyramid Lake utilizing various methods in various locations, almost never consistent. I never anticipate one method to work better than another. There have been days when the bite was nonexistent regardless of what method I was using and how well I was doing the week before, or even the day before. The weather at Pyramid Lake is a big determining factor as conditions can change fast and will require you to rethink your strategy. Personally I always bring at least 3 to 4 rods set up with different lures to alternate from as I make my way between waypoints. In November I was doing well with a P-Line jig just above the bottom at 80ft straight off of Pelican Point. At the beginning of December I found them while downrigger trolling from Spider Point to Warrior Point using a Sierra Spoon at 65ft. In the past I have caught a few using Blue Fox and Mepps spinners. Fly fishing is a popular and effective method that I have never personally tried.
