Local Fishing Insights
Lake Tahoe's fishing varies throughout the year, with each season offering different opportunities. Spring brings excellent rainbow and brown trout action in shallower waters as the fish move in closer to shore. Summer is prime time for kokanee salmon and deeper-water lake trout (mackinaw), which can reach impressive sizes in these cold, oxygen-rich waters. Fall offers some of the most consistent action of the year as fish feed heavily before winter.
Brad's expertise includes both trolling and jigging techniques, adapting to daily conditions and fish behavior patterns. Weather on Lake Tahoe can change quickly, so having a knowledgeable guide ensures both safety and fishing success. Water temperatures and seasonal patterns play crucial roles in locating fish, and Brad's years of experience navigating these factors give his clients a significant advantage.
