Local Tips & Conditions
Lake Tahoe's fishing conditions vary significantly by season. Spring brings excellent opportunities for rainbow trout in shallower waters, while summer sees kokanee salmon action peak. Fall offers some of the year's best fishing for lake trout as they move to more accessible depths. Weather on the lake can change quickly, so layered clothing is recommended even during summer months. Morning trips often provide calmer conditions and better fishing, though Brad monitors patterns closely to maximize your success regardless of when you book. The lake's clarity means fish can be quite line-shy, so Brad employs specialized techniques and tackle that account for these unique conditions. Water temperatures, seasonal hatches, and prevailing weather all factor into his daily strategy for putting clients on fish.

Brad's boat is well-equipped with quality rods, reels, and electronics to locate fish efficiently. The vessel comfortably accommodates small groups, making this ideal for families or friends seeking a shared outdoor experience.

Brad can provide coolers with ice for storing your catch if you plan to keep fish for the table.
