 The mornings are getting colder now, not freezing but noticeably cooler. Saw this neat cloud formation on the way out to Pyramid. The big benefit to living 20 minutes from the lake.

 Pyramid is always best with storm fronts moving in. It had rained thru the night which should make fishing a 10 for the day.

 My personnel favorite place on Pyramid.

First fish for the day.

 This was the big fish 6lbs. He was a real fighter.

 Second tagged fish I have caught out of Pyramid. You can see the green tag just behind the dorsal fin.

 

A new friend I meet for the day. Good fishing Rall!

Everybody caught many fish for the day. It was a real treat to watch other guys reel in some nice fish.

The elusive 10 lb never showed itself but I feel he is close!
