Van and Hutch out from Boise had a great couple of days on Pyramid Lake, NV! We are starting to see spring conditions for fishing the alkaline lake. Streamer and indicator techniques are both producing; pick your poison!

February fishing
February fishing on Pyramid Lake has been similar to December and January, with quality in size being at the forefront rather than numbers; although when a storm blows in we do see the numbers jump up. It’s been cold so bundle up!
QUALITY CUTTS
The quality continues this January! Local anglers caught these beauties this week…
JANUARY FISHING REPORT
This January has fished well! In January 2018 we saw mild weather with warm temps making the fishing slow. January 2017 we had flooding resulting in lake closure for 6 weeks. This year the storms have been consistent making for decent fishing. Similar to December daily numbers are not at their highest but quality by means of size make up for it; big fish are being caught. Follow the storms!
BOISE VALLEY FLY FISHERS
Join us at our booth at Expo Idaho this weekend! We will be presenting on Pyramid Lake at 7 p.m. Friday night. Come chat with us about going after these monsters!
FISHING REPORT DEC. 2018
Water temps are consistently dropping, heading towards the coldest part of the season. The fishing is good for big fish, numbers are not typically high during December but when anglers do get one to the net it’s typically good quality by means of size. Indicator fishing has been more productive than stripping. It appears that the best time to fish right now is during the warmest of the day, noon to 3-ish.
Anglers Nick and Shawn landed some decent fish this week! As did Utah guide Wade Isaman. The weather is supposed to be mild for a few days, let’s hope for more storms soon!
LAKE FISHING TURNS ON
Water temps have dropped and the shore fishing has turned on. December should be good!
Angler Curt Peterson sent us some great pics of his pontoon trip from last weekend.
And the Chen family had a great day with us on the water yesterday, with Guide Bill Kitchen. Happy Thanksgiving!
VETERAN LANDS GREAT FISH
Veteran Scott R. and his wife had a great day on Pyramid Lake yesterday. Scott landed this beautiful chromer on Veteran’s Day! Great job, great fish!
🇺🇸 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🇺🇸
HIT AND MISS, SOME SHORE ACTION
The last few days have produced some decent fish from shore, which is an improvement from the last few weeks. The most likely cause was the drop in temps, which have picked back up today with 62 for the high, and 70 tomorrow. So the long and short is that it’s hit and miss right now, and the deeper you can get your line the better. Temps are expected to drop around Tuesday with lows in the near 30 and into the 20’s, so that should improve shore fishing. Water temps are 58-60 degrees. If you’re headed out to Pyramid try planning your trip around a low pressure system or cold snap. Remember, shore fishing tends to turn OFF on blue bird days. Bring on the crappy weather!
PYRAMID LAKE FISHING REPORT
The last storm dropped the surface temps clearing out the bait balls to deeper water. Reports have been slow from shore, with boaters and float tubers having better luck. The lake is in a transition phase right now, shore fishing will improve once more winter storms roll in and water temps drop below 55°. Crossing our fingers for more bad weather!
