About the fishing here
Pyramid Lake is a desert lake on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation in northern Nevada, all that remains of a much larger prehistoric inland sea. It holds Lahontan cutthroat trout that grow to a size almost nowhere else in the country, drawing anglers who fish standing on ladders set out in the shallows. A tribal permit is required to fish here, separate from any state license. Winter through spring is the prime season, before the desert heat pushes the fish deep.
The usual catches here are Bluegill, White Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Muskellunge, Largemouth Bass and Rainbow Trout.
Bluegill is generally most active around May-Jul. The best windows are usually dawn, day and dusk.
A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
