Local Species Insights: Coho Salmon

Coho salmon in Lake Tahoe provide exciting angling opportunities throughout the year, but they're particularly active during cooler months. These fish typically inhabit deeper waters during summer heat but can be found in more accessible depths during spring and fall. Brad uses specialized trolling techniques with flashers and spoons to entice these powerful fish to strike.

When targeting coho in Tahoe Vista waters, we often focus on underwater structures and temperature breaks where these fish congregate to feed. The fight of a hooked coho is memorable – they're known for their acrobatic jumps and powerful runs. Our guided trips are timed to coincide with peak feeding periods, maximizing your chances of connecting with these prized game fish.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

When joining us for a Lake Tahoe fishing adventure, we recommend dressing in layers as mountain weather can change quickly. Our boat is equipped with comfortable seating, fishing electronics, and safety equipment. We provide quality rods, reels, and terminal tackle specifically selected for the species we're targeting.

Most trips begin early morning when fishing activity is highest, typically meeting at our Tahoe Vista marina location. We recommend bringing sun protection, a camera to document your catch, and any preferred snacks or drinks. Our catch-and-keep policy follows all California fishing regulations, and we're happy to clean and package your legal catch for you to enjoy later.
