It is cold out at Pyramid Lake too. Winter in the high desert is un-forgiving. Be prepared and dress in layers and you will have fun. Nymphing big copper johns under the bobber, or stripping in buggers and beetles are all working. Sometimes first and last light is the best in winter if there’s no action on the lake, wind, chop, cloud cover. If you come out for a trip to Pyramid Lake, spend a few days. One day the fishing may be poor, and the next very good. It’s hard to predict the lake, but the more you go, the better your chances are. There is always big fish being caught at the lake, everyday.
