Pyramid Lake 2023 2024 Fish Reel

"The Grind" that's what this season was. Long days standing on the ladder hoping for one big bite. Endless casting and stripping often paid off with a big fish but paid for in a pound of flesh! Tendinitis of the the elbow and sore shoulders and hands were my reward. Is it worth it? I kept going back, the tug is my drug!

    Thanks! I'm not really doing anything special. I'm fortunate to be able to fish a lot and I definitely put in the time. I also fish hard. This was my 36th season of fly fishing pyramid and have always been known by my friends as the guy with the iron bladder 😅. I don't take many breaks which is my secret to success. Thanks for the view, I do appreciate it!

    Thanks! I'm fortunate to be able to fish with a lot of good fishermen. We keep each other up on where the hot bite is and that definitely helps.

    I average between 70 and 80 days or half days a season. I usually get a 3 day license and have a place out at the lake that I stay at when I'm out there. Over the last 5 seasons I average over a 10lbr a day. This season dropped off drastically due to the lower population of fish. The 1.1 million fish that were planted between 2014 and 2016 are gone now. And the fish plants have been way down since then.

    It was a grind this season... lots of 13-16's no 20's for me this year. Love watching your videos... keep grinding.

    Just curious as to how many days on the lake do you guess it took to catch this many nice fish? I'm local and after adding up the drive, $24.00 licence etc. I have been holding out until the prespawn is in full affect. Time I have endless money not so much. Thanks for sharing.

    Never met you but I’m Pretty sure I see u out there and u def pay your dues. We float tube most of the time and we have passed each other pretty early in the am while u were leaving your spot and we r just arriving. We call u the “the guy in blue gloves”. Good to see u kicking ass like usual.

    Yeah, I definitely put in the time. I've been tempted to get out there in my tube. It can definitely be more effective at certain times of yr but it's just easier to plop my ladder down and fish.

    This year seems like the fish have been hanging little deeper and the ledges r little further now since water has come up. Pretty sure u seen us out there as we all have orange outcast fat cats and wear the green gloves.

    Took her down for a littleXD! My name is Lucas Waltz and I met you on the pelican beach not to long ago, I was wondering if I could fish with you one day and learn a thing or two from you? Just thought I’d ask :) I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate every single one you post!

    Do you have a way that I can message you privately? Maybe we can fish another reservoir, stream, river, etc?

    Do you catch the majority of your bigger fish indicator fishing or by stripping flies?

    All I do is strip. I don't have the patience to indo fish out there. I do do it everywhere else I fish though.
