THE TRIP
Ladders and Lahontan
Pyramid Lake, situated near Reno, Nevada, is renowned for its unique fishing experience. This is the place where anglers use ladders to land Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Why ladders? The ladders keep you elevated and out of the cold water, allowing you to make that cast out to the drop-offs where the fish are cruising.
Pyramid is a large, deep, and cold body of water. This lake is the ideal habitat for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, the largest Cutthroat Trout species in the world! It's not uncommon to encounter these remarkable fish weighing anywhere from 10 to 20-pounds. For most anglers, it may just be the biggest trout of a lifetime. We always describe Pyramid as a unique, as it seems odd to chase these giant trout in a high desert lake in Nevada.
The morning view is usually pretty spectacular when the sun comes up on the lake. If there is a litte chop on the water, hold on, because it could be a really good day. After working the early morning bite, step up on the beach for some hot coffee and warm breakfast items. Just be ready to jump back in if the schools of fish come cruising through. Fish until early afternoon when we take a break for a hot lunch on the beach. After lunch, take your time and fish out the afternoon at your leisure. At the end of the day, head back to nearby Sparks, Nevada, for lots of dinner options and prepare for another day on the water.
If you seek the best chance to catch a giant trout, to take in amazing scenery, and enjoy a trip of great value, then Pyramid lake trip is hard to beat. Join Destinations and go after that fish of a lifetime.
Where we stay
The Nugget, Reno/Sparks, Nevada
Staying at the Nugget Hotel and Casino in Reno-Sparks, Nevada, is a great home-base for this trip. The hotel offers newly renovated rooms and plenty of space to spread out. There are plenty of great dining options in the hotel and several others within a short walking distance from the hotel.
Each morning, we typically meet down stairs and caravan for the 30-40 minute drive out to the lake. It's an easy drive and there are plenty of places to stop for that extra cup of coffee, if needed.
If you are still feeling lucky after you get back to the hotel, there are plenty of gaming options to keep you occupied. Heck, if it's the right night, you might even catch a concert at the hotel! Remember when we called this trip unique? There aren't many places where you can have this much diversity and fun, while on the hunt for a 15lb. trout. Don't miss out... join Destinations for our giant trout hunting adventure.
