Summer is ramping up at Pyramid Lake, bringing changes to both weather and fish behavior. The strong afternoon winds are subsiding, and fish are transitioning to their warm-season patterns.

Most largemouth bass are done spawning, but there hasn't been much of a post-spawn slump. Bass are gradually moving out from shallow areas, but have been extremely aggressive towards topwater reaction baits and deeper running crankbaits.

The catfish bite remains strong, as is typical for this time of year, with traditional baits like nightcrawlers and chicken livers working best. Striper reports have been scarce.
