Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

Pyramid is producing some excellent bass and striper action right now. Water temps have pushed right around 70 degrees and fish are starting to school up on bait. Bass guys have been hooking into some nice 3–5 pound fish (even a 9 lber was reported) on glide baits worked around main and secondary points. More consistent action for 1–2 pound fish has been on the finesse stuff... Senkos, dropshots, and Texas-rigged plastic worms.

Stripers have been seen sporadically blowing up on bait around the lake, especially in the morning. Some anglers are throwing walking topwater baits and jerkbaits at these boils, but pulling mostly schoolie-sized fish. The better bite has come from trolling swimbaits or A-rigs around the lake with higher quality fish in the 3–4 pound range being caught.

Trout season is officially here. Pyramid received its second 5,000-pound stock last week, firing up a very good bite, and not just for trout. Shore anglers are throwing Powerbait, jigs, and trout worms... many getting limits. Boaters are trolling Kastmasters with some success as well. But these trout plants are also kicking up potential action for trophy striper and largemouth bass. Spoons and A-rigs are still the go-to for stripers right now, and dropshots for largemouth. But now with trout back in the system as the perfect big fish forage, throwing 6-8 inch trout-color swimbaits near steep bluffs and points could yield an absolute giant.
