Fishing Tips Lake Tahoe


Fishing at Lake Tahoe

Rainbow Trout
Use small lures when toplining and inshore fishing. The best months for fishing are in September through November and in May. Rainbows are frequently planted throughout the summer.

Brown Trout
Use night crawlers or lures. Early summer and just before dusk is the best time to fish. Try the west end of Lake Tahoe, shallow areas along piers, and rocky bottoms.

Brook Trout
Use small lures or worms. Dry flies also work well. The best fishing is in early summer. These fish are most commonly found in higher elevation lakes and streams.

CutthroatTrout
Try a topline troll with night crawlers or shore fish with salmon eggs or worms. Spring and summer are the best seasons to fish. Cutthroat do not compete well against other species. Few are caught.

MackinawTrout
Deepline troll at least 80 feet with large flashers. Drift fishing with live minnows or night crawlers also works. Jigging with flashy lures can be effective. Mackinaw are caught year 'round.

Kokanee Salmon
Try topline trolling with a Wes Lange Rig or clusters of worms on size 4, 6, or 8 hooks. Early spring and late summer provides the best fishing. Most fish are found in the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe with a few taken off the Cav Rock area. It is highly unlikely you will catch them from shore.
