Pyramid Lake Trophy Trout

Located just 25 minutes outside Reno, NV, Pyramid Lake may just be the best Trout fishery in the country. 

Lahontan Cutthroat Trout to nearly 30 pounds have been taken here recently — and on every trip your chances of catching one over 10 pounds are better than just about anywhere. On our guided Pyramid Trips, you’ve got a heck of a shot at hooking the largest trout in your life!

JD is one of just a select handful of guides approved to by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe to guide on this amazing lake and to ensure you get the best possible experience, we only offer private charters for up to 4 anglers.

That gives us the most flexibility on how we fish, which means more action for you!

When I got to the point where I enjoyed helping people catch fish more than catching one myself, I knew it was time to begin guiding! I live for that feeling of excitement and anticipation that comes as you zip across the water at dawn, eagerly anticipating what the day will bring! I’m a huge fan of cold water species, with Salmon, Trout, and Steelhead atop the list.
