Pyramid Lake (Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation)
Closed to harvest| Size limit | No size limit stated | total length |
|---|---|---|
| Daily bag | — | per person per day |
Take or possession prohibited. The cui-ui is a federally listed sucker species found nowhere else on Earth but Pyramid Lake and the lower Truckee River — sacred to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (Kooyooe Tukkadu, "Cui-ui Eaters"). The numbers above are what applies when it is open.
Closed outright — this fish exists in exactly one lake and one river reach on the planet.
What we left out on purpose
- This entry covers Pyramid Lake only, not a Nevada statewide table — Pyramid Lake is the only Nevada water this site reports on, and it sits under tribal rather than state jurisdiction, so a generic NDOW statewide table would not even apply there. Anglers fishing elsewhere in Nevada need Nevada Department of Wildlife regulations instead, not the rules on this page.
- The Sacramento perch bag limit is read from the PDF's column layout and species order rather than an explicit species-labeled figure; a secondary source (the pyramidlake.us website text) states 10 per day instead of no limit. The PDF regulations book, effective October 2025, was treated as authoritative over the website summary.
- The Truckee River (the lake's inflow, partly on the reservation) carries its own season separate from the lake itself, referenced in the penalty schedule but not detailed with specific dates in the sections read — not modelled here since this site tracks the lake, not the river.
