21 NOV 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.

17 NOV 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.

16 NOV 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is thriving despite the cooling weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather is crisp, with temperatures ranging from the mid to high 40s through mid 50s, making it perfect for fall fishing. Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM.
### Fish Activity
The fishing has been heating up, especially for rainbows and browns. As the water temperature drops, these species are becoming more active. Yesterday saw a lot of action, particularly in the southwest area of the lake.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
The shift from early summer's giant Mackinaw to Kokanee has been impressive. This year, Kokanee up to 16-18 inches are not uncommon, with the southwest area being the most productive at depths of 55-75 feet. Mackinaw action has been sporadic but still yielding catches, mainly along the north and west shores.
### Best Lures and Bait
For targeting Kokanee, using lures that mimic their natural food sources such as small jigs or spoons is effective. For rainbow and brown trout, nymphs under indicators and Euro Nymphing (ESN) setups have been working well. If you're looking to fish dries, a March Brown attractor with a small baetis emerger behind it can be very productive.
### Hot Spots
The southwest area of Lake Tahoe, particularly at depths of 55-75 feet, has been the hotspot for Kokanee. For Mackinaw, the north and west shores have been the most productive. Additionally, the areas around Taylor Creek, despite concerns about low flows affecting the spawn, are still worth a try.
### Tidal Report
Lake Tahoe is a freshwater lake and does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.
Overall, Lake Tahoe is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities right now, so grab your gear and get out there to enjoy the fall fishing season.

15 NOV 2024 · As of November 15, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is thriving despite the cooling weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
First, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. The sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:30 PM.
Lake Tahoe, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.
The fish activity has been quite vibrant, especially in the southwest area of the lake. This region has been most productive at depths of 55-75 feet. Yesterday, anglers reported catching impressive Kokanee salmon, with many reaching sizes of 16-18 inches, which is above the typical 14-inch average. Mackinaw trout are also being caught, although the action has been sporadic, with the north and west shores being the most productive areas[1][5].
For lures and bait, it's recommended to use lures that mimic the natural prey of these fish. For Kokanee, try using small spoons or dodgers with a lure that imitates a minnow or a shrimp. For Mackinaw, larger spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish can be effective.
If you're looking for hot spots, the southwest area of the lake is a must-visit, particularly at the mentioned depths. Additionally, the north and west shores are good spots for targeting Mackinaw trout.
Remember, there are a lot of boats out, especially on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly. Also, be aware that low flows out of Taylor Creek might impact the spawn for future fish populations, but for now, the fishing remains excellent.
Enjoy your day on Lake Tahoe

10 NOV 2024 · As of November 10th, the fishing scene around Lake Tahoe is transitioning into the fall season, and here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Water Conditions
The weather is crisp with overnight lows in the mid-40s and daytime highs in the mid-50s to low 60s. Water temperatures have dropped significantly, ranging from 52 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for many of the fish species here. The water clarity remains excellent, making it a great time for both fly fishing and traditional angling.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, as many fish are most active during these periods.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been good, especially for those targeting trout. Mackinaw (Lake Trout), German Browns, Rainbow Trout, and Kokanee Salmon are the primary species you can expect to catch. Yesterday, anglers reported catching an average of 3-5 fish per rod, with most fish being found at depths of 50 to 75 feet.
### Best Lures and Bait
For trolling, using wedding rings behind a Tahoe Trolling Flasher has been highly effective. These setups are particularly good for catching Kokanee and Mackinaw. If you're into fly fishing, patterns like the Cray Z Emma, Nemec Stone, and Jigged Pheasant Tail have been top producers. Smaller mayflies such as the French Nymph and black Perdigon are also working well.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the deep waters of Lake Tahoe, especially around the areas where you can troll at depths of 200-400 feet. Another good spot is the Truckee River, which continues to fish well as the water flows stabilize. The Nevada side of the Truckee River has been particularly productive, with good fishing conditions and happy fish moving around due to the cooler overnight temperatures.
### Additional Tips
Keep in mind that the streamer bite has been slow lately, likely due to the abundance of molting crayfish, but this is expected to change as water temperatures cool further. For those chasing carp downstream of town, the Squirmy Hybrid and Jigged Bugger have been effective flies.
Overall, Lake Tahoe is offering some excellent fishing opportunities as we move into the fall season, so make sure to take advantage of the cooler weather and active fish.

9 NOV 2024 · As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene around Lake Tahoe is buzzing with activity, despite the impending seasonal changes.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather is crisp, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s, making it perfect for fall fishing. Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:45 PM. There are no tidal reports for Lake Tahoe since it is a freshwater lake, but water levels are a concern, especially with Topaz Lake down about 8 feet from last year.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity is robust, particularly for those targeting Kokanee, Mackinaw, German Browns, and Rainbow Trout. On Lake Tahoe, anglers have been successful in the southwest area, where Kokanee up to 16-18 inches have been common this year. Depths of 55-75 feet have been most productive[5].
### Recent Catches
Yesterday saw a good number of catches, especially for Kokanee and Mackinaw. Anglers on charters were averaging 3-5 fish per rod, with some notable catches of larger fish. For example, the southwest area of Lake Tahoe has been yielding impressive Kokanee, while the north and west shores have seen sporadic but significant Mackinaw catches[5].
### Best Lures and Bait
For Lake Tahoe, trolling small flashers with a half nightcrawler 12 inches behind the blades has been effective. Rapalas, especially in gold/black, perch, or hot steel patterns, are also highly recommended. When using Rapalas, it's advisable to use a small stainless snap swivel to enhance action and prevent line twisting[2].
### Hot Spots
- **Southwest Area of Lake Tahoe**: This has been the most productive area for Kokanee, with depths of 55-75 feet yielding good results.
- **Topaz Lake**: Despite the lake level being down, Topaz Lake has recently been planted with 6,400 pounds of trout by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Trolling small flashers or using Rapalas on the west and north ends of the lake has been productive[2].
### Upcoming Regulations
As a reminder, starting November 16, most California rivers and streams will convert to catch and release with artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks, and many lakes will close for the season. Make sure to check the latest regulations before heading out[2].
