Hey Folks!
It has been a long time between fishing trips for me and I finally got out for the first time this year getting up to fish Pyramid Lake on Thursday and Friday of this last week
. Brian ORourke, a good friend of mine I had met through a board event a few years back, had been inviting me to join him for some time and thank goodness I finally made time to make it up there with him. We also got to fish with Greg Sano another board friend on the second day when he joined up with us.
It was my first experience fishing Pyramid and it was a terrific one
. Brian and I were probably both just into the double digit numbers in terms of catching fish on both days. Midge patterns under indicators were probably the top producer for both of us while we also caught some nice ones stripping in wooly buggers or beetle patterns with sinking lines. We fished most of Thursday and about a little more than half a day on Friday. Greg stayed there after we left and I heard he did really well for the day.
Here are a couple pictures from our trip. Boy I can really kick myself for not catching that water spot on my camera sooner
! That spot ruined several great shots I took on that first day and I included a few here anyway. Even Dana couldn’t totally fix them although she did improve them some.
Thanks again Brian and Greg for the great time!
Best Wishes and tight lines to all

Hey Brian, many thanks for the great trip and lesson on how to fish Pyramid! I had a great time. Greg, it was great to see and fish with you as well on Friday.
I hope that fishing trip gets me going now!
Best wishes to all the board members out there!
