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.

What Our Customers Have To Say

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!

Ashley S

Andrew and his deck hand did an outstanding job. The boat was comfortable and clean. The tackle and equipment was all great and we caught a limit of fish. I’ve fished in many places and Andrew was the best I’ve experienced.

TJR

We had a great time! We caught our limit of fish! We learned about the lake and the different species of fish in it.

KymS

A great experience fishing on Lake Tahoe! Captain Andrew took us to where the fish were biting and we all caught fish immediately – two of us had never fished and Andrew explained everything perfectly. Andrew is very skilled, knows how to run a boat very well, and taught us how to bait a hook, watch for line bites, reel in a fish, and net it. Thank you, Captain Andrew, for a fun and memorable morning of catching salmon! We grilled some of them up that night! Delicious!

Suzanne Lyons

We had an early morning fishing charter with Captain Andrew. He is young, energetic and very knowledgeable!! We did what he taught us to do and caught some pretty big ones! Great time! I would definitely recommend Andrew and Nor-Cal Charters. Say “Hi” to Bobby Boucher for us! 😉

Barbara Webster

Andrew did a fantastic job of taking both experienced and inexperienced fishers on a fruitful charter. We managed to hit our limit within the first two hours of the trip and got to see a lot of what Lake Tahoe had to offer. He was extremely knowledgeable of the lake and coached us every step of the way. It was a great experience!

Chaseton Williams

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Captain Andrew with Nor-Cal Charters did an amazing job providing our students the experience and knowledge about fishing in Lake Tahoe!

Richard Kinnett

Went out with captain Andrew for the second time. The trip was amazing, as expected. He put my dad and I pn 6 nice size mackinaw! He actually put us on more, but that’s what we took home. Always recommend nor cal charters and captain Andrew. The boat is nice and big also, and has an i side cabin area and restroom.

Jared K.

Had a great experience fishing aboard the Professor! Captain Andrew is excellent: knowledgeable, experienced, attentive, and with a great sense of humor. We felt really taken care of, had fun, and caught our share of fish. Highly recommend!

Kirill N.

If you’re looking for a charter out of Lake Tahoe, look no further. Went out with Captain Andrew on the Professor and it was a great time. The Captain is very knowledgeable and knows the lake very well. We limited out on salmon and tried for other species. He was great with the youngsters and I would highly recommend this charter. I’ve gone out with multiple other charters here in the past, but we thoroughly enjoyed this trip out. Book this!
