Local Species Insights: Trout
Lake Tahoe is renowned for its healthy trout population, including Mackinaw (lake trout), rainbow, and brown trout. These fish thrive in the lake's deep, cold, oxygen-rich waters. Trout in Lake Tahoe can be targeted year-round, with different techniques proving effective as seasons change.
Spring and fall typically offer the best shore fishing opportunities as trout move into shallower waters.
