Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your Lake Tahoe fishing trip begins at a convenient Tahoe Vista marina. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear layers as mountain weather can change quickly, and bring sun protection, camera, and any preferred snacks or drinks. The boat is well-maintained and equipped with safety gear and fish-finding electronics to maximize your success.
Morning trips typically start around sunrise when the lake is calmest and fish are most active. Afternoon trips provide warmer temperatures but may experience increased boat traffic.
