Local Fish Insights

Lake Tahoe's deep, clear waters create a unique fishing environment. The lake reaches depths over 1,600 feet, with game fish typically found at varying depths depending on the season. During warmer months, Brad targets areas where fish congregate near underwater structures, drop-offs, and temperature breaks. In cooler weather, different techniques are employed to reach fish at their preferred depths.

Mackinaw (lake trout) are among the most sought-after species, often found in deeper waters and reaching impressive sizes. Rainbow trout typically inhabit shallower waters, while brown trout are often caught near tributary mouths. Kokanee salmon provide exciting action during their seasonal runs. Brad's intimate knowledge of these patterns ensures you're fishing the right spots with appropriate techniques throughout the year.

Your Lake Tahoe fishing adventure begins at a convenient marina location in Tahoe Vista. Brad recommends bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, appropriate clothing for variable weather conditions, and a camera to document your catch.
