We are still seeing the bite remain a bit day-to-day out here, due in large to the lack of weather this year. There’s still a good opportunity most days to find fishing during the morning bite window, but typically this will die off mid-day, and the evening bite has been spotty. Focus on getting on the water during that hour before sunup and fish hard those first few hours. We have seen the midge fishing getting better and better, especially during these extended high-pressure periods.
When fishing out here last week, our brown TCO Two Tone Midge in a size 10 X-Heavy put in work, getting 5 to the net during an otherwise tough day. We still have some great months of Pyramid Lake fishing ahead of us, and even if we don’t see the weather stick around like we did last year, the spring pre-spawn bite will still provide a solid window of fishing. Until then, keep an eye on that forecast and look for any days with wind, overcast or precipitation and send it!
Also, If you are reading this on Friday, the 30th, We are having our Pyramid Lake shop talk here in the shop tonight at 6:30pm and we’d love it if you joined us. It is a free hour long presentation, followed up by a Q&A. Then next Saturday, February 7th, we will be having a Pyramid Lake Fly Tying Night with special guest Doug Ouellette. Doug O. will be tying “The Original Popcorn Beetle” and talking about the nuances of tying and fishing this Pyramid Lake necessity. I (Miles) will also be there tying up our TCO Two Tone Midge, which has been proving itself yet again this season. This is another free event, also starting at 6:30pm. You don’t want to miss this one!
