Lake Tahoe's fishing conditions vary throughout the year, with spring and fall typically offering the best action for trout. Early mornings and evenings often produce the most active bite, especially during summer months when the water warms. Weather can change quickly in the mountains, so layered clothing is recommended even during summer trips. Water clarity in Lake Tahoe is exceptional, often allowing visibility to depths of 70 feet or more, which affects fishing techniques and lure selection. Brad tailors each trip to current conditions and guest experience levels, ensuring both beginners and seasoned anglers enjoy productive time on the water.
Your Lake Tahoe fishing trip includes quality rods, reels, and all necessary tackle specifically selected for local conditions and target species. Comfortable, stable boats equipped with safety gear ensure a pleasant experience on the water. Morning trips typically begin around sunrise when the fish are most active, while afternoon trips take advantage of the evening bite. We recommend bringing sun protection, a camera to document your catch, and appropriate clothing for variable mountain weather. Light snacks and water are provided, though guests are welcome to bring additional refreshments. Catch-and-release is practiced for conservation, but fish cleaning services are available if you wish to keep your legal limit.
