Kooyooe Pa’a Guides

Status: active

Autumn Harry guides fly anglers on Pyramid Lake, the ancestral home of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and one of the last strongholds of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Operating year-round from Nixon, Nevada, Harry's approach is rooted in Numu (Northern Paiute) traditions and deep knowledge of the lake's migratory patterns, particularly during the cooler months when trophy-sized cutthroats peak. Beyond fishing technique, trips emphasize cultural immersion and stewardship of this sacred water and its endemic species, including the Cui-ui.

  "fishingSeasonsNarrative": "My guiding year at Pyramid Lake is a year-round affair, deeply connected to the rhythms of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and the endemic Cui-ui. While the lake is always alive, the prime fishing for the large, migratory Lahontan Cutthroat Trout typically peaks in the cooler months, offering incredible opportunities for anglers seeking trophy-sized fish. The Cui-ui, a species unique to this water, are also a significant part of the ecosystem and fishing experience, though their specific fishing seasons are managed with conservation in mind. My approach is rooted in the Numu (Northern Paiute) traditions, offering not just a fishing trip, but a cultural immersion into the history and stewardship of this sacred water.",
