This world-class fishery has truly impressed me as a guide this season. I’m incredibly grateful and excited to share what Pyramid Lake offers to fly fishermen. The 2024-2025 season has been exceptional. The lake boasts not only a staggering number of fish but also the jaw-dropping size of the trout. Having fished these waters for over a decade and guided anglers for the past seven seasons, I can confidently state that the consistency of large fish this year surpasses any previous season.
Seasonal Overview

Water temperatures have remained in the high 40s (47-49°F), depending on the area of this vast lake. Typically, this time of year sees temperatures in the low 40s. The slightly warmer water has kept the fish more active. Many baitfish hold in deeper water, but there is still plenty of forage in the shallows. This abundance allows trout numerous feeding opportunities.
Feeding Patterns
Feeding patterns have varied throughout the season. Some days, low-light periods produce great numbers and the occasional trophy fish. However, the most productive window for targeting Pyramid Lake's giants during the winter months has been mid-day, from 9 AM to 2 PM.
Adjusting your techniques based on the weather on any given day is crucial. Mild weather conditions this winter have influenced fishing patterns and fish behavior.

Effective Techniques
Stripping flies has been the most effective technique during lower-light periods. Use patterns that move water—like Boobies, Beetles, Zonkers, and Woolly Buggers. The indicator bite has remained solid throughout winter, and adapting to the conditions will yield positive results. Balanced Leeches and midges are your go-to patterns for this incredible stillwater fishery.
