Striped Bass Get Full, Then They Get Caught

Pyramid Lake had a heavy trout plant this week, which is good news for striped bass fishermen.

Dumping trout at the launch ramp is like spreading a smorgasbord for the stripers, who in turn fall prey to the anglers. Several large catches were reported.

The largemouth bass also are biting so well that one man fishing for crappies in Priest Cove and Glory Hole Cove with white crappie jigs kept catching nothing but largemouths. He lost count after throwing back 20.
