Lake Tahoe's fishing conditions vary throughout the year, with early morning typically offering the calmest water conditions and active fish. Summer months provide excellent opportunities for kokanee salmon and rainbow trout, while lake trout can be targeted year-round in deeper waters. The lake's crystal-clear water requires specialized techniques that Brad has mastered over years of guiding in this region.
Weather on Lake Tahoe can change quickly, so always bring layers regardless of the season. UV protection is essential at this elevation, where the sun's rays are more intense. Fall brings cooler temperatures and often excellent fishing as many species feed more aggressively before winter sets in. Brad monitors water temperatures and fish patterns daily to adjust tactics for the best possible results during your trip.
