Pyramid Lake, Nev

This year I decided to go a little earlier in the Spring than I usually do. My thought process was that I would have a shot at quality vs quantity. Going early is always a crap shoot with the weather, and this trip was no exception with a nasty cold fromnt that came through the day before I was to hit the road. I ended up delaying  one day and went Carpin instead. The cold weather had them hunkerd down on a clear water place I like to fish and I could only feed one fish.  Damn weather!  Go figure..Forecast is for highs in the 90s by Tuesday around here.

 Air temps in the Nevada Desert ranged from 30s to 70 degrees. Things warmed up a little every day and the fishing improived with it. All in all a great solo trip with a good number of shots on Quality Lohantan Cutthrout. I really enjoy getting out there. The high desert is actually a beautiful place and full of life. Pyramid Lake is a magical place and I always look forward to getting up there. Even in the dead of winter which I've dont many times. Maybe there is one more trip before summer this year...We'll see.

Recent fishing...

Carpin is as good as it gets. Good solid average and excellent numbers.  Off to Pyramid in Nevada for a few days.  Really looking forward to this trip.

Short report

Fishing and weather continues to be perfect. Mid 70s during the day and mild nights. A few days of rain recently has everything emerald green around here.  Word is we will be in the 80s by tuesday. I like that!! Looked at some new water today. Carp were all over the place and the average was good with most fish in the 10-12 class.

 

Dry Fly Carpin

A good number of fish looking up today. We had some rain last night and warm over cast most of today,so I had a perfect window. Singles cruising around creeks mouths for anything washing down. Not much size but it really didn't matter to me since it doesn't happen very often around here.

Spring fishin..

Mid 70s Tshirt and shorts type fishing most days for the last three weeks has opened up the flood gates and we are about half way through the first wave of spawners.  Good solid fishing for Stripers, Bass, Carp and tailwater Trout. I will soon get out on the beach and SF Bay to try and intercept some migrating Stripers and whatever else I can find.
