  • Exceptional Fishing Opportunities at Lake Tahoe This Fall
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, Lake Tahoe is offering some exceptional fishing opportunities, despite the cooling weather in the mountains.

    ### Weather and Time
    The sun rose at about 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected around 4:30 PM. The weather is crisp, with temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s, making it ideal for a day on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    The fish activity at Lake Tahoe is quite lively this time of year. With the water temperature dropping, Rainbow and Brown Trout are rising to the surface, making shallow trolling with spoons highly effective. You can also expect to catch some Cutthroat Trout. The Mackinaw bite is improving, although the numbers are still a bit down; these fish are generally holding deep, between 150 to 220 feet.

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday saw some impressive catches, particularly in the southwest area of the lake. Anglers reported landing Kokanee Salmon up to 16-18 inches, which is above the usual size range for this time of year. Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout were also plentiful, with some anglers reporting double-digit browns.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Rainbow and Brown Trout, shallow trolling with spoons is recommended. For Mackinaw, using deep trolling gear with lures like dodgers and minnows can be effective. If you're targeting Kokanee, try using small hoochies or spinners at depths of 55-75 feet.

    ### Hot Spots
    The southwest area of the lake has been particularly productive, especially for Kokanee. The north and west shores are also good spots for catching Mackinaw and other trout species. If you're looking for Bass, the Tahoe Keys area is your best bet, where you can find Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass in warmer, shallow waters.

    ### Additional Notes
    Be aware that there are a lot of boats out, especially on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly. Also, there is some concern about the low flows out of Taylor Creek affecting the spawn for future fish populations.

    Overall, Lake Tahoe is a great place to be for fishing right now, with a variety of species active and some excellent catches to be had. Enjoy your day on the water

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy at Lake Tahoe: Trout, Kokanee, and More Await Anglers
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is quite vibrant, despite the cooling weather in the mountains. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    **Weather and Conditions:**
    The temperatures are ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s, making it perfect for fall fishing. The weather is generally cool, with some occasional clouds, but no significant rain is forecasted for the immediate future.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is at about 4:30 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Fish activity has been robust, especially for rainbow and brown trout. The drop in water temperature has made these species more active. Kokanee salmon are also plentiful, with many reports of 16-18 inch fish being caught, which is larger than the usual 14 inches.

    **Types and Amounts of Fish:**
    Yesterday saw a good number of rainbow trout, brown trout, and Kokanee salmon being caught. Mackinaw (lake trout) action has been sporadic but still productive, particularly on the north and west shores. The southwest area of the lake has been most productive for Kokanee at depths of 55-75 feet.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For Kokanee, using wedding rings behind a Tahoe Trolling Flasher has been highly effective. For trout, especially browns, streamers, size 18-20 BWOs/Baetis, size 16 Mahogany Duns, crayfish, eggs, and San Juan worms are all good choices. Dry fly fishing has been hit or miss, but the Little Truckee River has seen more success with dry flies.

    **Hot Spots:**
    The southwest area of Lake Tahoe is a hot spot for Kokanee, while the north and west shores are better for Mackinaw. For trout, the Truckee River and Little Truckee River are excellent choices, with the NV side of the Truckee River reporting some of the best numbers of the season.

    Overall, it’s a great time to be out on Lake Tahoe, with plenty of fish to go around and favorable conditions for a successful day of fishing.

  • The Crisp Catch: Fishing Lake Tahoe's Bounty this Autumn
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is vibrant despite the cooling autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    The weather is crisp, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. The clear skies and mild winds make for ideal fishing conditions.

    Since Lake Tahoe is a freshwater lake, there are no significant tidal changes to worry about. The water temperatures are perfect for fall fishing, with clear and calm conditions prevailing.

    Fish activity has been heating up as the water temperature drops. Yesterday saw a good number of rainbow and brown trout being caught. The southwest area of the lake has been particularly productive, with anglers reporting catches of Kokanee salmon up to 16-18 inches, which is above the usual size range for this time of year. Mackinaw trout, though less consistent, are still being caught, especially around the north and west shores.

    For Kokanee salmon, focus on depths of 55-75 feet in the southwest area. Rainbow and brown trout are active in deeper waters but also congregate closer to rocky shores with lots of cover.

    In terms of lures and bait, for trout, using lures that mimic their natural prey such as small jigs, spoons, and flies can be effective. For Kokanee salmon, try using small dodgers with hoochies or spinners. Live bait like nightcrawlers and minnows can also be successful for trout.

    Hot spots include the southwest area of the lake for Kokanee salmon and the north and west shores for Mackinaw trout. The Tahoe Keys area is also worth a visit if you're targeting Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, which prefer warmer, shallow waters around underwater vegetation and rocks.

    Overall, Lake Tahoe is offering some excellent fishing opportunities this fall, so make sure to get out there and take advantage of the ideal conditions.
