Hey NoCal, we did see snow around Donner Lake/Donner Pass and there was some on the peaks. This was my first time, so I do not know what is normal for that area. Hopefully we do get more snow though, because we need it for the lower reservoirs. :-)


Crossed over Cache Creek yesterday and ut was bone dry. No puddles, nothing and we are getting to the end of Jan. Wonder if water quality will get to a point that Clear Lake won't even make the top 25 list.

Yeah, we are supposed to get rain this weekend and the following week. Hope it comes down good! I booked a campground for early April at Clear Lake :-) Before all the tournaments start.

Yeah guys. You think 2020 was bad. If we don't start getting lots of rain soon this year is libel to put 2020 to shame. They were already talkin bout the fire danger and it's the middle of JANUARY.

Thanks, Jim H! This adventure is going to lead to an annual event for me! :-) Maybe at least twice a year :-)

Agreed, Steve,
Hopefully we start getting some, starting this weekend! It'll put a damper on getting out there to fish, but we need more rain.

I went to Pyramid Lake for my first time to fish for Lahanton Cutthroat Trout with a couple of friends from our kayaks. Since it was an over 4 hour driving trip, we decided to book a hotel room in Sparks/Reno, Nevada, which is about a 40 minute drive from the lake so we can fish for 2 days. One of the other guys had a blast too being his first time as well.
The rules and regulations for this Indian Reservation lake is as follows:
The total daily TROUT limit is 2 FISH:
One 17" to 20" and one 24" & longer
OR two fish 17" to 20".
Only 1 fish over 24" allowed in possession .

No trout less than 17" or between 20" and 24" are allowed in possession (in order to protect more large fish for spawning and to produce more trophy size fish!)
No bait or scents allowed. Barbless hooks only. It is treated as a trophy fish fishery :-)

The first day (Sunday) was nice and calm. I did a lot of research for our trip and I am glad I did. Some of the tips I picked up help me in catching my 2 keeper fish - 1 over 24" and 1 in the slot between 17" and 20". We all were able to catch our limits. The second day was tougher because we had to catch and keep 2 in the slot between 17" and 20". Since we already had 1 in possession over 24". Needless today we were skunked in getting our slot fish, bit all the fish we caught the 2nd day were over 20"!!!

I am definitely going back. This is the lake where you see pictures of anglers fishing from ladders and high chairs along the shoreline :-)
