Pyramid Lake Nevada - Land of the Giants

By: Chuck Loudat

First I would like to start by saying, I am looking forward to when things get back to normal and see our customers back in the shop so we can talk fishing.

If you have never been to Pyramid Lake Nevada to stalk and catch giant Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, you just might move it closer to the top of your bucket list after reading this article. Where cookie cutter trout are three to seven pounds and don’t even raise an eyebrow, you know you’re somewhere special. For my buddy Paul and I this was our third trip to Pyramid in four years. On the last two trips we failed to get our double digit fish, so this trip had a specific mission. We picked March, since this month is somewhat of a sweet spot. The stormy weather can move in, you can land some good numbers of fish, and there is a pretty good chance of that fish of a lifetime.
