Pyramid Lake is a popular fishing destination in California, known for its large Lahontan cutthroat trout. Other fish species found in the lake include smallmouth bass, striped bass, catfish, and carp. Nearby activities include camping, boating, and hiking in the surrounding mountains. Fishing tips include using lures or flies that mimic the lake's baitfish, and fishing near drop-offs for the best chance at catching a trophy-sized trout. The best time of year to visit is in the fall, when the water is cooler and the fish are more active. Average temperatures during this time range from 60-80°F.
