With the colder weather to start off this year’s Pyramid Opener, the bait, and therefore the trout, were a bit more spread out. This means fewer big number days to start but is also a good sign of the shore bite starting a bit earlier this year. The average size of the fish has been on par with last year however, with a 28-pound fish already hitting the net in the first week. We have also already been getting a few reports of some fish caught by shore anglers, but it’s certainly few and far between as of now. With the stormy weather forecasted, we expect the remaining bait balls to likely break up and the cutthroat begin to push into shallower water as soon as next week.
