@@SeaSpankerOutdoors your welcome brother.. your tips and tricks help more than you know.. and anytime brother it would be my pleasure 💯🎣 tight lines 🎣
Such great information and educational stuff. Thanks so much Rob. The underwater videos are awesome. Please show more underwater videos. Good to learn the depth the fish swim at from the bottom. Tight lines Rob. 🎣
Awesome video Rob, going to be up there next week. Good to know the burn technique. I got super tubes and some rapalas for the egg sinker technique just in case. Any beaches you recommend? I was just going to start at Popcorn and work my way north.
Its an interesting thing recommending spots up there. There really aren’t any set good or “secret spots” as the fish move around sooo much. The camera footage was all at pelican and there were tons of fish. I used the same camera at popcorn and didn’t see one fish even though we caught a few there 🤷🏼♂️. I have heard that folks were getting bit at the nets, pelican (just in the am), spider, and i heard warrior had a pretty good bite. Thats all super strange as the fish should be south of those spots by the beaches preparing to spawn. So who knows popcorn could be on fire when your up there haha. Biggest advice is move around alot until you find some willing to bite 🤘
All the Summit strain fish in the lake have their adipose fin. The Pilot strain have their adipose clipped. This is so there is no close breading between the 2 strains. The Pilot strain is the original strain from Pyramid Lake that was once thought were extinct. They were discovered in pilot creek on the the Nevada Utah border back in the late 70's. And were reintroduced in Pyramid in 2016. Since they are an endangered species they Federal government runs the Lahontan hatchery in Gardnerville, NV. That hatchery ants the pilot strain. The hatchery at Pyramid spawns the summit strain and plants them in the lake. Over the last 5 yrs the Lahontan hatchery has given 100,000 fingerlings to be raised at the hatchery at Pyramid. These have been planted at the hatcheries raceway in the fall and winter in hopes that they will return there to spawn. I think the plan is to phase out the summits. Fishing is slow because the population of fish in the lake is down. Between 2014 and 2016 the Lahontan haters planted over a million fish. Were saw the affects of those plants over the last 5 yrs with huge numbers of fish. Unfortunately since 2017 the Lahontan hatchery has only been planting 80 to 90 thousand fish and the tribe has been planted the 100,000 from the Lahontan hatchery. The Lahontan hatchery raises 500,000 fish in the spring. Of the 500,000, 100,000 goes to the tribe and about 300,000 have been planted in the Truckee River drainage which included: Echo lake, Fallen Leaf lake, Lake Tahoe, Prosser Reservoir, Stampede Reservoir and the Truckee River. The last I heard, through tag information. The oldest fish recorded was 9 years old and 14lbs. With the high mortality rate of the planted fish and the low number of planted fish the population of fish is down and Unfortunately unless they start planting more fish this is going to be the new norm. The Lahontan hatchery is and endangered species hatchery. Planting fish for fisherman is just one part of their job. Planting, protecting and restoring the Lahontan Cutthroat to the Truckee River drainage is their main goal.
Awesome intel. Thank you so much. I read somewhere that California fish and wildlife is trying to restore the lahontan population in the eastern sierra as well.
Generally, the pilot peaks have the clipped adipose and the summits do not have a clipped adipose even though both raised in hatcheries. It’s not entirely clear if 100% of pilot peaks are clipped and 100% of summits are not clipped, but that seems to be the general rule. From what I’ve heard, there is still very little natural reproduction.
Interesting. Everything Ive seen or read about it says that they clip all fish that go through the hatcheries so they can track development of the hatchery fish vs the wild natural spawners. Who knows for sure haha
Thanks again. Truly one of the best overall fishing content on RUclips and so cal fishing.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it 🙏
Hey brother I just wanted to thank you for all the info and tips you give every week they help a lot .. I definitely appreciate it 🎣💯 tight lines 🎣
Thanks brother. Im hoping to move up there sooner than later and youll have to show me around the Truckee 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors your welcome brother.. your tips and tricks help more than you know.. and anytime brother it would be my pleasure 💯🎣 tight lines 🎣
Another great instructional video Rob. It's much appreciated and i learn from it.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Yes sir! Keep that underwater footage coming! Not only a great way to see what's going on but I think it'll blow up your subscriptions!
It’s definitely fun to see whats lurking out there. Im hoping to use it alot more up in the sierra this season

Thanks Paul. I intend to especially in the sierra
Chunky bow !!!
Way to get on em bud...great video
Thanks 🙏
Would like to see you fish prado, or fin and feather for holdover trout in the summer where they are barely fished for, maybe you might get lucky
That’s definitely coming up 🤘
Such an interesting fishery……have you ever tried Buzz Bombs?….the smallest size
I haven’t personally but there isn’t any reason why those fish wouldn’t hit it

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Awesome. Everything is always helpful. Was planning to stop into Mark Fore and see if they know anything up to date.
What’s a god websight to pick up that reel
There are lots of options and Ive purchased different model vanquish’s from ebay, Asian Portal, and sometimes even Amazon
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors cool cause I did see a couple on Amazon

They were reintroduced in 2006. The 2016 was a typo
great info Thanks!

Thanks! Enjoy your content!
That lake can make you work for every one you catch, but you at least show us how you work the bait to take the time off of what works.
It can definitely be a grind at times but you just keep casting as the next cast could be the fish of a lifetime
Yep!!@@SeaSpankerOutdoors
