The lake's elevation (6,225 feet) means weather can change quickly, so layering clothing is always recommended even in summer months.

Dress in layers as Tahoe's weather can fluctuate, even during summer months. Brad provides quality fishing rods, reels, tackle, and bait tailored to the day's conditions. You should bring sun protection, a camera, snacks, and beverages. A valid California fishing license is required for anglers 16 and older, which can be arranged in advance.
