Pyramid Fly Co.
Status: active
Rob Hagerty has guided fly anglers on Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River for 30 years, building deep expertise in the lake's two celebrated Lahontan Cutthroat Trout strains—the Pilot Peak and Summit fish—known for their size and selective feeding. He reads the seasonal rhythms of the lake with precision: fall through spring offer peak productivity as trout actively feed and grow, winter pushes fish to deeper water where trophy opportunities persist, and spring warming triggers Sacramento Perch activity alongside continued cutthroat feeding on Tui Chub. His approach accommodates all skill levels, from newcomers learning to sight-cast to experienced anglers pursuing 10-plus-pound fish.

"fishingSeasonsNarrative": "My guiding year at Pyramid Lake is dictated by the behavior of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, particularly the renowned Pilot Peak and Pyramid 'Summit' strains. While the lake is accessible year-round, the prime fishing often kicks into high gear as the seasons transition. The cooler months, from fall through spring, are particularly productive, with the trout actively feeding and growing. During the winter, the fish tend to move into deeper water, but the opportunity for a trophy-sized fish remains. As spring approaches and the water begins to warm, the Sacramento Perch become more active, offering a different, yet equally rewarding, angling experience. The Tui Chub, a primary food source for the trout, are present throughout the year, ensuring the cutthroats are always looking for their next meal.",

The lake is accessible year-round, though fall through spring deliver the most consistent action. All fly gear, rods, reels, and tackle are provided, allowing clients to focus entirely on reading rises and executing presentations.",
