So many people from all over the Pacific NW come over to experience the land of the giants. The many things I love about living here. Pyramid Lake over any SoCal lake honestly 🤷🏽♂️ Also you should definitely try fly fishing at pyramid! It’s a whole different feeling and I prefer it just it does get difficult for some.
Yeah we plan to move to southern Nevada in the future to get away from all the California nonsense haha. Im actually dying to try fly fishing up there just haven’t had the opportunity yet
Such an adventure fishing Lake Pyramid. What a cool video! Props to you guys for fishing in weather like this. How do you guys know where to fish on this lake? A buddy told me the lake is huge because he fished it with his boat. The lake can turn into an ocean when the wind starts up. It can get to be really dangerous. A video showing what gear you guys fish in or prepare for at Lake Pyramid would be awesome! Lets face it! Southern California anglers don't know what cold is! Lake Pyramid is on my destination list of places to fish. Thanks for all the work you do! The details helps everyone! Much of my freshwater rods are the E6X series. Great rods!
Honestly you need to go find the fish. There are no “secret spots” as the fish follow the food around. You may slay em in one spot only to return the next day and nothing. All the major spots are marked with signs and easy to find. Also look for crowds of people in certain areas. If theres a bunch of anglers the fish are probably in that area. Im actually working on a video for first timers going to Pyramid. It coming soon 🤘
Rob the coband tip is going to be revolutionary to my trips to Pyramid. My hand always freezes even in my glacier gloves or my seal skinz. I appreciate that tip sooo much! Maybe I will add a little loop to stuff a hand warmer in there.
Haha yeah that coban really helps. I also started using these heated glove liners that work pretty well. They ate not water proof so I put the nitrile/latex gloves over them and you have alot more dexterity than the big snow gloves. I just leave them on medium and my hands are still cold but but not frozen or painful and im comfortable. The batteries will last on medium until the sun comes up and then usually im good but I do suggest getting some extra batteries just in case.

Some really nice fishing at Pyramid. The best thing about that fishing is it not scientific just bigger gear. The best advice is be prepared for that cold.
Thanks for the excellent video. The Okuma Celilo rod line and Ceymar reels are hard to beat for the quality at around $100 for both. So many sizes from small trout salmon/steelhead, If you are looking for quality at a decent price give them a look
With my pyramid set ups I started tying a leader thats the length of whatever rod im using so about 9-10’. It gives me alot more leader to work with as they are put under alot of stress with each fish
Another great video. You have some of the best RUclips videos as you explain things in detail. Thanks for that. I have been wondering if I should direct tie or use a clip up there on the tubes. I love using a clip when I can. You answered that! You mentioned using spoons at Pyramid. RHA spoons? What size and color spoons you like there? Never seen a good Pyramid casting spoons video and I have searched for them! Maybe do a Pyramid Spoons video in the future? 🤞
I really like using the RHA 2 1/4 and 2 7/8 spoons up there. Some of my favorites are bleeding toad slayer, cutty candy, black hole, necromancer, and bleeding ghost
It really depends on what you want out of a pair of waders and how often your going to use them. I use Simms G3 waders with Korker River Ops boots. Outstanding gear but very expensive, I think around $900 for both. I have used 8fans and TIDEWE waders out there as well and those run $100-$150. Both of those preformed just fine out there. Since I fish so much I opted to get the really nice Simms stuff and they are awesome but my other cheaper waders definitely get the job done. Biggest thing you want is breathability otherwise in the your body heat will cause condensation and you get swampy legs if that makes sense
Thanks 🙏. Yeah most of the video was at Spider and Popcorn but the group also got into some toads at Block House as well. I just didn’t get any footage if it 😢
10lb Daiwa JBraid with a 10lb fluoro leader Is what most of us use. I have a rod spooled with 8lb and one with 6lb but the 10+ size fish are getting more and more common so anything less than 10lb your really gambling as its now not crazy to hook into a 20+ size fish. I think the biggest this season so far is 23lbs but the fish aren’t super active yet. I believe last season the biggest was 33-35lbs and there were a few others caught in the 30lb range all released but one died.
We always bring them just in case but most of the time we dont use them. There are alot of spots up there where the dropoff is very close to shore. we have them for those rare occasions when the fish end up biting in areas where they are helpful. If you went up there without a ladder you can still get on those fish

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors you should definitely do it! The eastern sierras would be closer to you too 👍
You’re the best fishermen I know Rob much respect to you and thank you for the great videos
Thank you so much for the kind words but Im still just learning like everyone else out there 🙏

Great trip Rob! The fish are very large and many species of fish. Pretty cold 🥶! Tight lines Rob!🎣
Thanks Paul 🤘

Absolutely right 🥶
Great video rob...beautiful fish
Thanks brother 🤘

Right on. I actually purchased both before this trip 🤘
Great video and info! How long of a leader are you tying to your braid?
With my pyramid set ups I started tying a leader thats the length of whatever rod im using so about 9-10’. It gives me alot more leader to work with as they are put under alot of stress with each fish
Thanks!
Good job man nice fishing 🎣
Thanks Noe 🤘

Rha spoons are too light imo
I like using heavy 3/4 spoons
Grab one from your box with your closed and you’ll catch fish if they’re around!
I really like using the RHA 2 1/4 and 2 7/8 spoons up there. Some of my favorites are bleeding toad slayer, cutty candy, black hole, necromancer, and bleeding ghost
I left a brand new anchor there when it got snagged on some rocks and the swells were getting nasty so I just cut the line.
Oh man glad you made it out if there. That weather can get crazy for sure
Do a video/short on how you guys put the jig in the bait
No worries im sure i can include it in next weeks video. As long as I can catch some fish between now and then that is haha
nice video
Thanks for watching
Wow, another great trip and video. What type of waders do you recommend using
It really depends on what you want out of a pair of waders and how often your going to use them. I use Simms G3 waders with Korker River Ops boots.

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thank you very much for the extensive response much appreciated it Rob, and keep sharing your adventures with us.
Sick vid 😎
This up at spider point??
Thanks 🙏. Yeah most of the video was at Spider and Popcorn but the group also got into some toads at Block House as well. I just didn’t get any footage if it 😢
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors I’m making the transition to jigs!
Can’t wait to try them out here in the Reno area
@@mainlyfishing4599 right on. The super tubes work great up that way on the browns and the macs
You think 🤔 it's worth going to SARL in this high pressure. I might spend the night tonight. 4 tanks of lightning 🌩
Its always worth a shot. I only cancel fishin trips if the weather is so bad its unfishable
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors when's the next time you'll be out at SARL ?
@@stevengarcia88 possibly this Wednesday but not for sure. I gotta lot going on this next week.
What size of line are you using for those toads
10lb Daiwa JBraid with a 10lb fluoro leader Is what most of us use. I have a rod spooled with 8lb and one with 6lb but the 10+ size fish are getting more and more common so anything less than 10lb your really gambling as its now not crazy to hook into a 20+ size fish.

No step ladders?

Lake pyramid off the 5 freeway?
Probably nevada by Reno
Its Pyramid lake in Nevada. It currently holds the largest cutthroat trout on earth 🤘
I got two cellilo 8.6 rods when Okuma had a recent sale $32 each rod what a bargain wholesale parts to build one probably close to $100
I got one of those this year, those rods are great for the price!
Online?!?
Very cool. Ill keep lookin if they can be found at that price. Awesome 🤘
I but most of my rods online nowadays
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors 8.6 spinning cellio still on sale for $32
Rob, I hit you on IG with a question. I appreciate you.
Thanks for the heads up. I think I just sent you a message. If its not you let me know
