Okay, one last try to do my duty here. I fished Pyramid yesterday. I fished the south end of the nets from about 10:00 a.m. until 6:30. From 10-3, the guys on ladders did well with some periods being more productive than others, but it seemed as if someone always had a fish on. The were using buggers, black mostly, and white/chartreuse or white/pink beetles. Almost everyone was fishing buggers. I, on the other hand, wanting to be different and wanting to fish nymphs under an indicator, and being stubborn and being stupid, did not fish buggers much and when I did I was unsuccessful. My buddy and I went in for lunch at 3:00 p.m. and at that time, we had seen many fish caught, but neither of us caught a single fish. We were, however, in tubes about 50 yards beyond the ladder line like we usually are.
After lunch we decided to bite the bullet, swallow our pride and back into the ladder line with the guys who had been catching fish. Okay, so I do have a clue eventually. I still did not feel like chuck and duck, though, so I stuck with an indicator. I made my first cast after lunch at 4:15. I stuck my first fish of the day on the next cast. Between 4:15 and 6::00 or so I caught 7 fish. 5 ona a #16 bh prince, one on a #16 brassie and 1 on a #16 bh grey choronomid. My buddy was right next to me and he caught 7 in the same period of time, all on a bugger. It was the brightest, ugliest chartreuse thing I have ever seen, but effective. We went from skunked before lunch to the most productive after. It was fun.
Al tolled, we caught 14 fish. 3 were in the slot range,8 between 20"-24" and 3 over 24". Next weekend is the last weekend to fish the nets, then they close until May 15. I heard there were 4 fish over 10 pounds caught yesterday, one at Pelican, one at the north nets and two at the south nets.
There you go, my annual post. Been very busy these days with the girls so I don't come around too often. It is nice to know I still can, though and I suppose it would be nice if I threw some info your way every now and then. Good luck to all those who are Pyramid bound in the next month, it will only get better from here on out.
Tight Lines!
