As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is looking promising, despite the cooler fall weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 38 degrees. Sunrise was at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. The water temperatures are perfect for fall fishing, with clear and calm conditions prevailing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly in the deeper waters of Lake Tahoe. Anglers were successful in catching Mackinaw trout and Kokanee salmon. In the Truckee River and its tributaries, wild rainbows, browns, and Lahontan cutthroats were active.
### Catch Reports
On Lake Tahoe, fishing charters reported catching an average of 3-5 fish per rod, with a focus on Mackinaw and Kokanee. These fish were found at depths of 50 to 75 feet. In the Truckee River, the bigger fish were caught in the fastest water sections and on the seams next to them.
### Best Lures and Bait
For Lake Tahoe, using wedding rings behind a Tahoe Trolling Flasher has been highly effective for catching Mackinaw and Kokanee. On the Truckee River, Euro nymphing techniques with flies such as crayfish, stoneflies, and small streamers have been producing well. For the smaller fish, flies like tan and olive caddis, mahogany duns, baetis, and midges are recommended.
### Hot Spots
- **Dollar Point**: This spot has been good for rainbow trout, especially for those using pier fishing techniques.
- **Truckee River**: The section below Boca, through the canyon to Nevada, has been particularly good for catching bigger fish. The confluence of the Boca and Little Truckee rivers is also a hotspot.
- **Caples Lake**: Although the EID boat ramp is closing for the season, the shoreline is still good for catching big browns using inflated nightcrawlers or Rapalas.
### Additional Tips
Be mindful of the upcoming regulation changes on November 16, where many California rivers and streams will convert to catch and release with artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks. Always check the local fishing regulations before heading out.
With the right gear and knowledge, you should have a great day fishing at Lake Tahoe. Good luck and tight lines
