Last year, I very clearly recall a time when a client and I found ourselves in a thrilling struggle with a particularly determined Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. The excitement in my client’s eyes and the exhausting fight (that last over an hour) created a very unique bond between us of reeling in a remarkable 20 pound catch.
Preparation for an Unforgettable Pyramid Lake Fishing Season

Whether my clients are seasoned anglers or novices, the thrill of that first tug on the line transcends expertise levels.
