Saturday February 16th Clinic
As always, our guides will be hosting a day on the lake for our newer Pyramid lake anglers. We still have about 5 spots open for the clinic. We will spend the day fishing the lake and learning tried and true techniques, places to fish, rigging, casting, fly patterns etc. etc. We will have some demo equipment to try as well. This event sells out every year so if you are interested please send an email to
