The latest storm that passed through the area left a bunch of snow. Our late season storm track has finally put the Sierra snowpack over 100%. The weather is about to take a monster turn towards spring and some really warm weather is going to melt this snow pretty fast. The area streams will most likely be blown out for a bit now. Keep an eye on the flows before you go.

Pyramid Lake has benefited from the last few winters and the water conditions at the lake are great. This immediately effects the Tui Chub minnow population and health. There is plenty of food available for the big fish. Good News/ Bad News, I guess.

April is here and so is the spawn. There are fish around the shorelines cruising and looking for a place to reproduce. This phenomenon has changed over the years and looks nothing like it did 10 years ago but it still happens to some degree. Warm weather and high pressure that comes along with spring months make fishing tough. Glass sunny conditions on the water make fish lethargic. Fishing first and last light on these days is the way to go. Any day that has some wind forecast or cloud cover is going to be better.

Stripping woolies and beetles with a shooting head first thing in the morning is the best advice we can give. Midnight Cowboys, Northern Lights Tadpoles, Chartreuse Beetles and Martini Olive Wolly Worms are all catching fish. Indicator flies are getting smaller. Size 14 Albino Wino’s and Copper Wino’s should be on your line. Don’t get to married to balanced leeches, they get a lot less effective when the weather is nice. Try one of our new leaders. They make rigging with either the Indicator Leader or the Streamer Leader way easier and also make it easier to change flies.
