Pyramid Lake is one of Nevada’s most distinctive natural lakes, set within high desert terrain northeast of Reno. Its vast open water, stark shoreline, and cultural significance make it unlike any other fishery in the region.
Pyramid Lake is internationally known for its large Lahontan cutthroat trout. Fishing is highly seasonal, with shore and boat anglers adjusting techniques to water temperature, wind, and fish movement.
Access is regulated, with designated shore areas and boat launches requiring permits.
Special tribal regulations apply and permits are required.
