This
is a GBF sponsored fishout at Pyramid
Lake, Nevada on
March 20 – 22, 2005. Sign-up
at the February and March general meetings. Accommodations are available
at Crosby's Lodge in Sutcliff at the lake; some of us will
also be staying in Reno.
We will be fishing primarily
from pontoon boats and float tubes. We fished this way in early
December and were very successful! Ladders are also used in case
the wind kicks up waves; otherwise traditional wading is also
possible. Special note...This water is VERY
COLD...so, be sure that you have your warmest waders and insulated
socks...long underwear is also a plus!
