  • Tahoe Tides Turning: Brown Trout Spawn, LCT on the Move in Cooler Conditions

    Tahoe Tides Turning: Brown Trout Spawn, LCT on the Move in Cooler Conditions
    Nov 7 2024
    As of November 7, 2024, the fishing scene around Lake Tahoe is looking promising, especially with the recent cooler weather and wind.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 52°F and a low of 38°F. This cooler temperature has significantly improved the fishing conditions, especially in the Truckee River and Pyramid Lake.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset is at 4:47 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    In the Truckee River, the brown trout have begun to spawn, and the rainbows are actively feeding, particularly during the middle part of the day. Nymphs in sizes #16-20, such as Micro Mayfly, split case Blue Winged Olive (BWO), and Ready Baetis, have been very effective. Dry fly fishing has also picked up, especially on overcast days or later in the afternoon when the sun leaves the water. Blue Winged Olive hatches have been active, and fish are looking up for these flies.

    At Pyramid Lake, the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (LCT) are moving into shallower waters, making them more accessible. Fishing with balanced leeches, baitfish flies, and buggers under an indicator or on the retrieve has been productive. The fish are primarily found in 6-10 feet of water, and beaches with deeper drop-offs are hot spots.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the Truckee River, use nymphs like Micro Mayfly, split case BWO, and Ready Baetis. Dry flies such as Parachute Adams and Pullover BWO are also effective. For Pyramid Lake, balanced leeches, baitfish flies, and buggers are the way to go.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Truckee River**: Focus on areas where the brown trout are spawning, but be mindful to leave these fish undisturbed. The middle sections of the river are seeing a lot of activity.
    - **Pyramid Lake**: Look for beaches with deeper drop-offs where the LCT are moving into shallower waters. The retrieve technique starting deep and decreasing sink time has been successful.

    ### Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a good number of brown trout and rainbows caught in the Truckee River, with some fish reaching up to 16 inches. At Pyramid Lake, anglers reported catching LCT in the 18-20 inch range.

    Overall, the cooler weather and changing seasons have made this an excellent time to fish in the Lake Tahoe area. Make sure to adjust your depths and techniques according to the time of day and water conditions.

  • Fall Fishing at Lake Tahoe Offers Trout and Salmon Opportunities Amidst Changing Regulations

    Fall Fishing at Lake Tahoe Offers Trout and Salmon Opportunities Amidst Changing Regulations
    Nov 3 2024
    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

  • Lake Tahoe's Fall Fishing Hotspots: Trout, Mackinaw, and Kokanee Salmon Abundance

    Lake Tahoe's Fall Fishing Hotspots: Trout, Mackinaw, and Kokanee Salmon Abundance
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, Lake Tahoe is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the transitioning seasons. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit, making it a comfortable day for fishing. Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:45 PM. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Tahoe, as it is a freshwater lake.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing has been productive, especially in the early and late hours of the day. The recent warming trend has shifted the fish activity to these times. For trout, particularly rainbow and brown trout, shore anglers are having success using smaller spinners and larger spoons diving plugs. Toplining in shallower waters (less than 50 feet deep) has also been effective.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a good catch of rainbow and brown trout, with some anglers reporting catches of up to 10-14 inches. Mackinaw trout, though less consistent, are still being caught, especially in the north and west shores of the lake. Kokanee salmon, which have been impressive this year with sizes up to 16-18 inches, are being found at depths of 55-75 feet in the southwest area of the lake.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For trout, lures such as Mepps, Panther Martins, and Rapalas are highly effective. Deep-line trolling, jigging, and using live minnows are the best methods for catching Mackinaw trout. For shore anglers, nightcrawlers, Power Bait, salmon eggs, and minnows are standard and successful baits.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Cave Rock and Sand Harbor State Parks**: These areas are known for producing the best catches for small rainbow trout, as they are stocked from these locations.
    - **Southwest Area of the Lake**: This region has been most productive for Kokanee salmon at depths of 55-75 feet.
    - **North and West Shores**: These areas are currently the most productive for catching Mackinaw trout.

    Overall, Lake Tahoe is offering a great fishing experience this time of year, with a variety of fish species active and accessible. Make sure to check the local fishing reports for any updates and to plan your day accordingly.
