Pyramid Lake Clinic presented by Matt Koles

Lost Coast Outfitters and Gilligan’s Guide Service will be holding a Pyramid Lake Clinic at Pyramid Lake in Nevada on March 14th. If you have not heard of Pyramid Lake, or always guessed how to fish it, this is the time to do it. Check this clinic video out. Pyramid is the place right now to tangle with a monsta trout.

Cold and windy and nice and raw out at Pyramid Lake in Nevada now. The fishing is good and the fish are big. Get the old neoprenes out, some gloves, a shooting head and have at it. Pretty much all the beaches have fish on them. If there’s to many people on one beach for you, go somewhere else. Pyramid Lake is almost the size of Lake Tahoe, so there’s plenty of...

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake is just starting to get going. The first week after the opener was awesome, then it got a bit slow, it now seems to be going the other way again.

If you can find the bait balls of Tui Chubs you’ll find the fish. A...

Three days of wet and soggy weather here in the Hirsch on the Truckee River. Much, much needed rain feel, the fish and the landscape got a breather from a long ass summer. Rain means dry fly fishing, yes we did some, but if you can’t get the drag off your fly, these fish here will give you the middle finger especially out on the Little Truckee River. Sure,...
