Here are some pics of today's brown trout hunt. I'm headed to this lake tomorrow. This is 4 of the 38 browns that were caught. The rest were released.
As you can see, the water is a bit low right now. This is another reason we're usually alone on the lakes we fish. Most people won't take the chance to launch in these conditions. When the ramp is out of the water, 99% of the crowd stays home. We're the 1%. And that's just the way we like it!

Great pics, man those fish are awesome!
Scotty, the guy holding the larger browns, has probably released more 10lb browns than I'll ever catch! The guy has it down to an art.
That 1% comment is pretty accurate. Today there were 2 boats on that lake. Tomorrow and Sunday, probably 2 boats again. Mine and Tim's! It's on!
How about an elk hunt in Utah for a brown hunt in my area? Or short of that, just come up and we'll do some fishin'.
We hit it hard yesterday and today. However, the fishing was not very good. We caught 6 small browns over the weekend in my boat and my buddies caught 12.
We didn't get the storm we were supposed to get. It fizzled out on the west side of the mountains. Therefore, we had a full moon and ZERO wind. Neither are conducive to brown hunting and when combined the bite turns off!
Friday was the day to be there during the storm. I'll be back on the water in a couple of weeks.
Pyramid Lake is home to the Lahonton Cutthroat. It's normal to catch 20 tor 30 of these a day. And 10 to 15 lb fish are not uncommon. Most are 3 to 5 lbs and there are size restrictions. Fish between 16 and 19" can be kept, fish between 19 and 24" must be released. The daily limit is 2 and only 1 can be over 24". This lake is on Indian land and they make the rules.
It's a dangerous lake with a major wind event being pretty common. I'll fish it when the waves are less than 3', but I try to be off the lake when the waves are 6' to 8'. And you can see it coming too! A huge dust cloud forms on the south east end and that's the cue to get off the water. Fast!
Never heard or or I'm not familiar with familiar a , interesting.
