The lake's impressive depth (reaching over 1,600 feet) means water temperatures remain cool year-round, creating ideal habitat for lake trout and other coldwater species. Brad monitors underwater thermoclines and baitfish movements to position clients where fish are most active.
Weather conditions in Tahoe Vista can change quickly, so Brad recommends dressing in layers even during summer months. Morning trips often provide the most productive fishing, when the lake surface is calm and fish are actively feeding. Fall brings some of the year's best trophy opportunities as fish fatten up before winter.
