  • Fall Fishing on Lake Tahoe: Tackle the Trout, Carp, and Kokanee this Season

    Fall Fishing on Lake Tahoe: Tackle the Trout, Carp, and Kokanee this Season
    Nov 10 2024
    As of November 10th, the fishing scene around Lake Tahoe is transitioning into the fall season, and here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The weather is crisp with overnight lows in the mid-40s and daytime highs in the mid-50s to low 60s. Water temperatures have dropped significantly, ranging from 52 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for many of the fish species here. The water clarity remains excellent, making it a great time for both fly fishing and traditional angling.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, as many fish are most active during these periods.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been good, especially for those targeting trout. Mackinaw (Lake Trout), German Browns, Rainbow Trout, and Kokanee Salmon are the primary species you can expect to catch. Yesterday, anglers reported catching an average of 3-5 fish per rod, with most fish being found at depths of 50 to 75 feet.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For trolling, using wedding rings behind a Tahoe Trolling Flasher has been highly effective. These setups are particularly good for catching Kokanee and Mackinaw. If you're into fly fishing, patterns like the Cray Z Emma, Nemec Stone, and Jigged Pheasant Tail have been top producers. Smaller mayflies such as the French Nymph and black Perdigon are also working well.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the deep waters of Lake Tahoe, especially around the areas where you can troll at depths of 200-400 feet. Another good spot is the Truckee River, which continues to fish well as the water flows stabilize. The Nevada side of the Truckee River has been particularly productive, with good fishing conditions and happy fish moving around due to the cooler overnight temperatures.

    ### Additional Tips
    Keep in mind that the streamer bite has been slow lately, likely due to the abundance of molting crayfish, but this is expected to change as water temperatures cool further. For those chasing carp downstream of town, the Squirmy Hybrid and Jigged Bugger have been effective flies.

    Overall, Lake Tahoe is offering some excellent fishing opportunities as we move into the fall season, so make sure to take advantage of the cooler weather and active fish.

  • Fishing Frenzy at Lake Tahoe Amid Seasonal Changes

    Fishing Frenzy at Lake Tahoe Amid Seasonal Changes
    Nov 9 2024
    As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene around Lake Tahoe is buzzing with activity, despite the impending seasonal changes.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather is crisp, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s, making it perfect for fall fishing. Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:45 PM. There are no tidal reports for Lake Tahoe since it is a freshwater lake, but water levels are a concern, especially with Topaz Lake down about 8 feet from last year.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity is robust, particularly for those targeting Kokanee, Mackinaw, German Browns, and Rainbow Trout. On Lake Tahoe, anglers have been successful in the southwest area, where Kokanee up to 16-18 inches have been common this year. Depths of 55-75 feet have been most productive[5].

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday saw a good number of catches, especially for Kokanee and Mackinaw. Anglers on charters were averaging 3-5 fish per rod, with some notable catches of larger fish. For example, the southwest area of Lake Tahoe has been yielding impressive Kokanee, while the north and west shores have seen sporadic but significant Mackinaw catches[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Lake Tahoe, trolling small flashers with a half nightcrawler 12 inches behind the blades has been effective. Rapalas, especially in gold/black, perch, or hot steel patterns, are also highly recommended. When using Rapalas, it's advisable to use a small stainless snap swivel to enhance action and prevent line twisting[2].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Southwest Area of Lake Tahoe**: This has been the most productive area for Kokanee, with depths of 55-75 feet yielding good results.
    - **Topaz Lake**: Despite the lake level being down, Topaz Lake has recently been planted with 6,400 pounds of trout by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Trolling small flashers or using Rapalas on the west and north ends of the lake has been productive[2].

    ### Upcoming Regulations
    As a reminder, starting November 16, most California rivers and streams will convert to catch and release with artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks, and many lakes will close for the season. Make sure to check the latest regulations before heading out[2].

    Overall, it's a great time to be on the waters of Lake Tahoe, with plenty of fish to be caught and beautiful fall weather to enjoy.

  • Fishing Lake Tahoe in November: Kokanee Salmon, Rainbow Trout, and Mackinaw Trout Abound

    Fishing Lake Tahoe in November: Kokanee Salmon, Rainbow Trout, and Mackinaw Trout Abound
    Nov 8 2024
    As of November 8, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is quite promising, despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Time
    The sunrise today is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:49 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 52°F and a low of 38°F, making it a crisp but manageable day for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been steady, especially in the early and late parts of the day. The shift in seasons means that fish are more active during these cooler periods. Yesterday saw a good number of catches, particularly of Kokanee salmon, which have been unusually large this year, ranging from 16 to 18 inches. Mackinaw trout, though less consistent, are still being caught, especially around the north and west shores.

    ### Best Locations
    The southwest area of the lake has been particularly productive for Kokanee salmon at depths of 55-75 feet. For shore anglers, Cave Rock and Sand Harbor State Parks are hot spots, especially for smaller rainbow trout and larger rainbows and browns using top-line trolling in shallower waters.

    ### Lures and Bait
    For boaters targeting Kokanee and Mackinaw, deep-line trolling and jigging with live minnows are highly effective. Shore anglers have had success with smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons or diving plugs for larger rainbow and brown trout. Standard shore baits like nightcrawlers, Power Bait, salmon eggs, and minnows are also recommended. Lures such as Mepps, Panther Martins, Rapalas, and Dardevles have been catching active rainbow and brown trout.

    ### Tidal Report
    Lake Tahoe is a freshwater lake and does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.

    In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Tahoe, especially if you're targeting Kokanee salmon in the southwest area or rainbow and brown trout around Cave Rock and Sand Harbor State Parks. Make sure to fish during the cooler parts of the day and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful catch.
