How was the trip to Pyramid Lake? Thinking about running up there for a couple days after some of these storms blow through.OK all you Nevada fly fishers... I'm busting out of the shop on March 11th and heading to Pyramid Lake to fish the 12-14th. Need some boots on the ground intel for areas to check out and places to make camp. Any other details would be awesome. This has been on the list for some time and I'm looking forward to checking the box on this one... @NV.Recon

Awesome! Hooked up with Scott Hoffman ( @NV.Recon ) from Reno and we had a great time. Scott got his largest fish to date, a 15lber! I parked my rig on the beach and never moved it for three days. Never leave fish to find fish. Camping was perfect with the winds calm in the morning and evening. A wonderful time for sure!How was the trip to Pyramid Lake?

Glad to hear you had a great trip. Pyramid Lake is a unique place and fishing off a ladder is a unique experience. I love coming over that last hill and seeing the lake first thing in the morning. I sure hope I can get up there next month. I'm getting the "Pyramid Itch" real bad!Awesome! Hooked up with Scott Hoffman ( @NV.Recon ) from Reno and we had a great time.

As a first timer, and not knowing the best route, it was a bit worrisome to travel quite a ways out of Susanville with much of that on gravel roads and find this.... just kept going anyway. Wasn't any worse than the Deschutes canyon road in the fall....Glad to hear you had a great trip. Pyramid Lake is a unique place and fishing off a ladder is a unique experience.

Fun trip! Who'd you fish with? I went went out with Dave Kwak, at that time was with Conway Bowman. I used my 10wt. Most of the time. It's a humbling experience trying to cast those flies. Glad you had a good time.Just returned from my annual Mako Shark fishing adventure in San Diego. Slow fishing, but still managed to interact with a few fish over the course of three days. While not super technical fly fishing, it is very visual. Sight casting to Makos on the surface isn't for everyone, but it is kind of fun. I bring 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 wt rods for this trip and choose the right stick for the fish that shows up. This trip the 12 did most of the work as the fish were in the 60-80 lbs. class. Once hooked they are very active and can jump several times their length into the air. You just can't believe how fast they are until you see them charging your fly. They are very hard fighters and tricky to release once brought to the boat. For perspective, the popper or "fly" is about 14-16 inches long. Like I said, not for everyone, but a lot of fun and a great excuse to hang out in San Diego and eat Mexican food for a few days...
