I’m hopefully going to be fly fishing Pyramid Lake near Reno Nevada this coming April. I found a few flies online that seem to produce really well. I’m still not done tying as I have a few dozen more hooks left. All of these were tied on size 6 TMC 2457 hooks. It’s a ridiculously easy pattern to tie. Here are a few photos of the Pyramid Tadpoles.
Hook: Tiemco TMC 2457 Size 6
Tail : Black Marabou or crystal flash
Under body: Purple or chartreuse estaz
Body: Loco foam or 2mm foam pick your color
Thread: black 3/0
Lahontan cutthroat…………fish those flies on a sinking line and make them bob and dive.
Talk to me about that foam in the first photo? What is it and where can I get my hands on some?

The foam used for these flies is called Loco Foam, it’s in a Northern Lights color. You could get it online pretty much anywhere. I bought mine from the local fly shop, Bob Marriott’s.
The fish I’ll be targeting are indeed Lahontan Cutthroat, let’s just say the fish get really big in Pyramid Lake.
