Great video man. Seeing the excitement of these guys that are admittedly novices is spectacular. Great guiding on your part getting these guys into fish. Well done!!!!

I've been watching you for a while. This was by far the my favorite video you have produced. Thank you for sharing the experience.

Best fly fishing channel on youtube!

Nice video!! Brought back memories on my first guide trip. "Did you see your bobber go down" I was like yeah but in reality I was zoning out in 15 degree weather.

That intro was some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in my entire life! Holy shit!

Good video. I used to live in Reno. Moved to Alaska for 12 yr and now finally back to Wyoming. You’re a pretty good guide to get those guys onto big fish! I’ve read that picking large fish up by tail injures vertebrae.

Hey man I’m coming to fish pyramid from Alaska can only bring so much.. If I could only bring one or two rods and a box or two of flys what would I need? Coming endish of November

Nice video, looking forward to it. Why is only person fishing?

Looks like fun, I've never been to pyramid lake. Two handed spey for fishing a lake in the wind = genius! What flies did they take this outing? One day I'm going to have to go out and do this.

As someone who fished Pyramid for more than 40 years I’d like to offer a few tips. 1. You are on Native American land. Respect it. Tribal Sheriff does not have a sense of humor and will seize all of your equipment. All of it. You can get it back, what’s left of it, at the end of the season. 2. The wind comes up around 4 PM. If you are on a boat get off the lake. My uncle warned a guy going out late. They never found his boat or the bodies. 3. The slot is 19” to 24” for keepers. In my opinion they are the best to eat. Big guys aren’t as tasty. Good for mounting. 4. Enough people leaving trash has closed the north end of the lake which is sad. It’s really cool up there. They filmed “ Abbot & Costello Go to The Moon” up there. And there is a huge geyser we used to warm ourselves up there too. 3. The colder the weather, the better the fishing so be prepared for the cold & wind. Bring something hot to eat & drink. 4. There is a small museum up in Sutcliff. Worth the visit in my opinion.

You are a better man than I haha. I feel like If people are conscious enough to hire a guide they should first hire an instructor to teach them basic casting. It sucks that people assume this responsibility falls on the guide.

Haha it’s not the hardest place to fish, but there are a couple key things a guide can teach you and help you learn to increase success!

What type of guide literally posts locations of people’s public waters on KZread? The place is already regulated enough, Indians are freaking out about covid, can’t even buy a season pass anymore. Grew up fishing this lake and it’s turned into a Bay Area stock pond.

@TheFlyDudes

A guide that makes money guiding on that PRIVATE water after paying for guiding permits and outfitting a business! Just like any shop anywhere advertises on magazines and film tours :) it’s not public water my dude! It’s Tribal land, which is private, which is why you have to buy a tribal permit.

Its a business for the Tribe as much as it is a conservation effort to bring back Lahontan. If the Tribe didn't want people there, they would close or further limit access. You are really just blowing hard about nothing here. And they aren't Indians.
