The lake has been up and down depending on weather and time of day. Mornings and evenings have been fishing the best, and on overcast/stormy days the bite has been active throughout the day. Surface temps have been peaking at 60°F. We had some algae at the beginning of last week telling us that the lake has “turned over”,but with warm weather in the forecast another smaller thermocline might form causing a second smaller flip later in November. 

The LCT have been suspended from 6-18’. This is where a castable sonar is invaluable. Both techniques are working with retrieving flies having a slight advantage. Typical flies for this time of year, beetles, buggers and balanced leeches. The olive color has been pretty consistent with white and chartreuse and midnight Cowboy colors a close second. 

Water temps will continue to cool even with warmer weather, this is due to lower sun angle sun and less daily sun duration. We expect the LCT to begin cruising very shallow soon, as we are no longer seeing bait balls and food sources are becoming more scarce. 

Flies we suggest: Pyramid Lake Beetle, Pyramid Lake Bugger, Balanced Leech, Balanced Chub, Mopcorn Beetle, Booby Fly
