Lake Tahoe offers diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. The lake is home to Mackinaw (lake trout), rainbow trout, brown trout, and Kokanee salmon. Early mornings typically provide the best action, when the fish are most active and the lake is calm. Brad specializes in trolling techniques that have proven effective on Tahoe's deep, clear waters, and he'll gladly share his knowledge about seasonal patterns and productive areas.
Water temperature and clarity play crucial roles in fishing success at Lake Tahoe, and Brad monitors these conditions closely to adjust techniques accordingly. The high-altitude alpine environment creates unique fishing conditions that differ from lower elevation lakes, requiring specialized approaches that Brad has mastered over his years guiding in the area.
Trips typically depart early morning from Tahoe Vista, with meeting times confirmed upon booking. Dress in layers as mountain weather can change quickly, even during summer months.
