Pyramid Lake remained at full pool, and water temperatures were near the mid-sixties. High winds made for challenging conditions early in the week. Luckily weather conditions improved. Large and smallmouth were located a bit deeper on points and bluff walls. Drop shot, Ned rigs, and grubs in Aaron’s Magic, Orange Crush, and Margarita Mutilator worked for bites. The deep diving crankbait bite should materialize soon. Anglers should also be ready for the vertical spoon bite. Afterall, a 40 pound striped bass was recently reported by an angler throwing a spoon. Striped bass also fell for trolled umbrella rigs and streamer flies. Catfish anglers did ok near the inlet with chicken liver and dip bait. There was a trophy trout stocking that took place here this week. We haven’t received any reports on the trout, but they are in there. bfd
