I got to fish Pyramid back in the early '70s...while I lived in Sacramento. And I tied a lot of big articulated black flies for a few fellow Pyramid fans. There were still some 20 pounders left in those days, but I never got any that big.
Quite a success story on how the tribe got water restored to the Truckee to boost the fishery...and then found some pure Lahontan strain cutts to plant and repopulate the lake after they were virtually wiped out. The planters were only small mountain stream fish but their genes kicked in once they were in big waters with good food supply. Seeing more and bigger fish every year. Now if they could only do something about all the pelicans that show up to chow down on both the cutts and the suckers they live on during the runs up the Truckee River.
