EXPEDITION DATES – 2021. DATES COMING SOON!

How To Get There
Reno Nevada (RNO) is the closest airport and our kick off point. Travelers are responsible for booking all of their airline reservations. 

Fishhippie Expeditions will also work closely with you to ensure travel coordination and flight schedules meet the criteria for the trip.

TARGET SPECIES
– “Pilot Peak”Lahontan Cutthroat Trout
The largest in it’s class, the Pilot Peak strain of cutthroat is the biggest that exist in the world today.  Most fisherman never encounter a trout the size of these Pilot Peak, as they grow at such a rapid pace and many of these fish can exceed over 20lbs!

– “Pyramid Strain or Summit” Lahontan Cutthroat Trout
As all cutthroat in the lake are born hatchery raised, these Pyramid Strain fish are produced by the tribe.  (The “Pilot’s” are produced by USFWS). These fish seem to show up in numbers while fishing and they can be, on average, a little smaller than the “Pilot’s.” By no means does that mean they don’t come big shapes and sizes. The Pyramid Strain fish will always have an adipose fin

Details coming soon,

This is a unique opportunity unavailable to anglers who come to Pyramid Lake and DIY. Through the only permit secured through the Paiute Tribe our clientele will have access to areas of the lake that are closed to fishing to the general public. Anglers will be lodging at a a remote and secluded spike camp from where we will operate the expedition.

TRIP INSURANCE – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Because many deposits and final payments for trip packages are non-refundable, it is highly recommended that you purchase trip insurance in the event that you have to cancel, postpone or reschedule your trip for any reason.
