Pyramid Lake How To Fish Conventional Tackle from Shore and Catch the Worlds Largest Cutthroat Trout
Lures can be found at: www.northforklure.com, www.ghouliejigs.com, www.hookupbaits.com, and Mark Fore & Strike in Reno has an excellent selection of Pyramid specific gear. Pyramid Lake has been fast to climb the ranks and earn the title of best cutthroat fishery in the world. There is nowhere else on this planet that holds Lahontan Cutthroat Trout in the size and quantity the Pyramid hosts. Whether you are fly fishing or utilizing conventional tackle, shoreline fishermen have been landing monsters from their ladders. Yes, this is ladder country. The lakes shoreline is mostly sandy beaches with occasional Tufa clusters and rocky points. Most of the beaches have long gradual flats that drop in to one of two troughs. Cutthroat Trout cruise along the drop offs ambushing prey. By walking a short ladder to the end of the flat and positioning it to bring advantage in keeping your presentation in the feeding zone. Be smart, be careful, it is easy to step off in the wrong place, I hope you all can swim. This video is meant to give some advice to newcomers and intermediate fishermen of the lake. I hope you all find success on the water wherever you are! Stay Safe and FISH ON!!!

Tundra has been great. Hope you make the trip, it is worth it! Never a guarantee but it is a strong fishery.
Nice video, but I tend to be most productive with spoons from Sierra Lure. Bleeding Frog in several colors. White or Green seem to be the most productive. White when it's stormy. 7/8 ounce is the best size for shore fishing.

Most people are aware of spoons, they are effective, and most fishermen are well informed for spoon fishing. I just wanted to show a few other tactics that are also incredibly effective. The Jig bite is my favorite, I like the way you can reely slow down the presentation when the fish are lethargic and fish a more sensitive rod. Good luck to you this season!

@@BlakeMarshallPiscesOutdoors I just thought I would share what spoons work at Pyramid. I have also caught fish at Pyramid with the Maribu Jig. Thanks for the advice!
Are they all hatchery or is there some natural reproduction in the truckee? Still never seen a lahontan in the truckee but ive heard rumors there's a few in there

That is a great question, I do not have all the details on that situation, and I assume it will forever be changing. There are up river plants going on, plus all the upper lakes receiving them. Difficult to know where the fish can all make it to with the difficult agricultural boundaries.

They spawn at the hatchery spillway at the lake…. Few years ago I found a dead 20+ cutthroat near downtown Reno. They definitely make it all the way into town. I’ll post a pic of it on my instagram..

I use those lures very effectively from the boat, see some guys casting them from shore, anything that mimics a minnow should catch. Great luck to you on the water!
Thanks for the shout out. Nice video 👍🤙

First time for everything....how much research should be done before heading up to Pyramid for the first time? Thank you...
@BlakeMarshallPiscesOutdoors

Thank you for asking. I tend to lean on research even went I have fished areas for decades, I study every inch of maps, and satalite images, and charts, anything I can find to locate places that I think will produce. For the Three days prior to the trip, I watch weather particularly wind forecast to see what the effects are there. It is a guessing game, but I will try and pick my first, second, and third best options for fishing. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. Good Luck

Do they taste good.

Yes, they taste great! There is a slot limit, so be sure you keep legal fish, and I would probably steer clear of the fish over 10lbs. Check out this video my homie made wantons out of them, it was incredible. He also cooked fillets with verde salsa, it was excellent Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYmr266Lj7ngnbw.html

Those barbs are not allowed! Read the rules bud!!

That is correct, no barbs, I have plenty of lures that have not been fished, those are what I am showing on the camera, I fish many areas, so I only pinch the barbs of lures that I am using at the time of fishing, majority of my boxes are stilled barbed because they have not been fished. Best of luck on the water!

I fly fish it often, but I don't narrow my field to only catch one way. I will catch fish on every method possible. Good luck out there, fly fishing for these cutties sure is enjoyable.

Thank you, my goal is always to show fishing as a positive and rewarding activity. I love and support all methods; everyone has their own favorite way. If you want to promote the sport you have to be willing to deal with some salty individuals, I get along with most salty folks, not all... Great luck to you on the water!@@Fatheadflyfishing
