bigdewy 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 cool you got a tagged fish, do you have to report that one?? Awsome fish dude! The USFWS requests that you report any tagged fish. These are a "Pilot Peak" strain Lahontan Cutthroats which were the origin strain of cutthroats in Pyramid Lake before "progress" wiped them out in the early part of the 20th century. The US Fish & Wildlife Service has been stocking them back in the lake for the past 5 or 6 years. Most of the cutthroats currently in the lake are other strains of Lahontan Cutthroats. At any rate, reporting information on tagged fish helps the Service monitor the success of their efforts. The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, which owns the Reservation that Pyramid Lake also tags fish that they stock as well as "prize" fish for various fishing derbies. Long answer to a simple question...

Most fish are taken either with wooly buggers or foam beetles and in the spring with chironomids under indicators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
