Local Fish Insights
Lake Tahoe supports a diverse fishery despite its cold, clear waters. Mackinaw (lake trout) are the prize catch, often found in deeper water and reaching weights of 10+ pounds. These fish require specialized techniques that Brad has mastered over years of guiding. Rainbow and brown trout are more commonly found in shallower waters, especially during spring and fall when water temperatures are optimal. Kokanee salmon provide exciting seasonal opportunities when they're running.
Fishing success on Lake Tahoe varies throughout the year, with spring and fall typically offering the most consistent action. Summer brings warmer water temperatures that can push fish deeper, requiring different approaches that your guide will adapt to based on conditions. Winter fishing is available but more specialized, focusing primarily on mackinaw in the deeper parts of the lake.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When you arrive for your Lake Tahoe fishing trip, come prepared with weather-appropriate clothing, as mountain conditions can change rapidly even in summer. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a camera to capture both your catches and the spectacular scenery. Our boat is well-maintained, comfortable, and equipped with quality fishing gear suited to Lake Tahoe's specific conditions.
Most charters begin early morning when fishing is typically best, though we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. Trip durations range from half-day to full-day excursions, with snacks and drinks provided. Brad focuses on making each outing enjoyable regardless of your experience level, ensuring you leave with improved skills and memorable moments on the water.
