Pyramid Lake October Fishing Was Incredible — November & December Are Looking Excellent!
October 1st kicked off the 2027 Pyramid Lake fishing season in a big way! We got off to a fast start with excellent action and large Lahontan Cutthroat showing up frequently. It's been an exciting beginning to the season, and November is already starting off strong.
After spending the summer guiding throughout the Eastern Sierra, it's always exciting to get back on Pyramid Lake and spend time chasing some of the largest trout in the world. The changing seasons, cooler weather, and opportunity to connect with a true trophy fish are what fall is all about, and Pyramid is the place to be! .
I want to take a minute to thank all of our returning clients who make it a point to fish with us year after year. You guys are awesome, and it's always a pleasure having you out on the boat. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to sharing another great season with you!
If you've been thinking about booking a Pyramid Lake fly fishing trip, November and December are excellent months to get out on the water. We still have some dates available and would love to have you aboard. Below is an updated fishing report from October and also heading into November/December. I hope you enjoy the read!
October Pyramid Lake Fishing Report
October started off with some fantastic fishing, bait-balls, aggresive fish, and a whole lot of smiles on board the boat. It's hard to ask for a better way to open the season!
We totaled 9 fish over the 20lb mark with the largest coming in at 25.4lbs and had many other remarkable fish over the 15lbs range.
This year, we also added afternoon half-day guided trips to kick off the season, and we will do so again next season. We wanted to give anglers another opportunity to experience the opening action without having to commit to a full day on the water. It's always rewarding to introduce new anglers to this incredible fishery and help them get comfortable with the techniques we use to target these fish.
One of the biggest parts of guiding Pyramid Lake is staying on the fish and keeping my clients in the right areas throughout the day. Fish are constantly moving, and conditions can change quickly, so I'm always paying attention to what's happening on the water and adjusting our location and approach when needed. Having the ability to cover water with the boat allows me to stay mobile, find productive areas, and keep us in the best position possible. My goal is to make the most of every opportunity and give my clients the best chance at a great day on the water.
November Fishing at Pyramid Lake
November is already starting off excellent, and we're moving into one of my favorite times of year to target trophy Lahontan Cutthroat.
This is the time of season when anglers have a legitimate opportunity to connect with some of the largest trout in Pyramid Lake. These fish can push well beyond 20 pounds, and the possibility of hooking into a true giant is always there. That's what makes fishing Pyramid Lake so exciting. You never really know what is going to eat your fly next. One minute you're working through fish, and the next you're connected to a trout that puts your tackle, patience, and angling skills to the test.
If catching a giant Lahontan Cutthroat has been on your bucket list, November is a great time to plan a trip. Whether you're an experienced fly angler or looking to experience Pyramid Lake for the first time, we'll help you get the most out of your day.
December: A Great Time to Target Trophy Lahontan Cutthroat
As we move into December, the opportunity to target Pyramid Lake's legendary trophy trout continues.
Winter fishing has a different feel to it. The weather gets colder, the lake takes on its winter character, and every hookup has the potential to turn into a fish you'll remember for a lifetime. Pyramid Lake is known for producing extraordinary Lahontan Cutthroat, and December is a great time to get out and take your shot at one.
One of the best parts of guiding on Pyramid Lake is sharing this experience with anglers of all skill levels. You don't need to be an expert fly fisherman to enjoy a day on the boat. We provide the equipment, instruction, and local knowledge to help make your trip enjoyable and productive.
We still have openings available in both November and December. If you've been considering a guided Pyramid Lake trip, now is a great time to reach out and secure a date.
