LAKE TAHOE FISHING

How To Fish In Lake Tahoe

Fishing on Lake Tahoe offers a unique and exhilarating experience, thanks to its crystal-clear waters and diverse fish species. Anglers can enjoy year-round fishing for Mackinaw (lake trout), which are abundant and often found in schools. Kokanee salmon, a land-locked Sockeye, are prime targets from June to October, while Rainbow and Brown Trout are commonly caught alongside. The lake’s depth and clarity provide excellent conditions for various fishing techniques, including jigging, trolling, and drifting live minnows. 

What to Expect

Expect a blend of scenic beauty and challenging fishing conditions. With 70 feet of water clarity, you’ll experience breathtaking views of the lake’s underwater landscape. The weather can vary, so be prepared for cool temperatures even in summer. Our experienced guides will help you navigate the lake, ensuring a successful and enjoyable fishing adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, Lake Tahoe’s fishing opportunities promise an unforgettable experience.

Dear Andrew, we’re very grateful for your excellent work. Your expertise and attention was above and beyond. We felt like we spent our time with a friend. Looking forward to go fishing with you again! Sima, Michael and Roman

Went out with Captain Andrew. I have been out with multiple charters on lake Tahoe over the years, and this was by far my best experience! Captain Andrew was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put me on the fish! He taught me all sorts of new fishing techniques to catch Mackinaw lake trout. I ended up catching 6 fish myself. I highly recommend this charter company and captain Andrew!

Jared K

We are in Tahoe for Thanksgiving week and decided last minute to book a four hour fishing charter for 8 of us (4 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids). We are SO glad we found Nor-Cal Charters as we had such an amazing trip! Andrew and Tim were incredible guides with great personalities. The fishing was good and they were so attentive and patient with our 7-year-old. The boat was very nice, spacious and clean. We will be booking this charter with this company in the future as everyone had a fantastic time! Truly one of the best fishing charters we’ve been on and it completed our Thanksgiving week in Tahoe and we can’t wait to come back!
