Year-Round Fishing for All Ages

We fish Lake Tahoe year-round for Mackinaw (Lake Trout), Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Kokanee Salmon. These trips are well-suited for families, beginners, and experienced anglers alike. All ages are welcome.

We run small-group charters by default—nothing oversized or impersonal. You’ll fish with guides who know the lake and care about doing it right. Good gear, solid boats, and local knowledge.

“I had an incredible time on the lake with my boys thanks to Mile High. Our guide, Justin, was laid-back, knowledgeable, and had us catching fish almost immediately.

Fishing with a 7-year-old isn’t always easy, but Justin was patient, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable for all of us. No reason to book with anyone else.”

“My dad and son went out with Captain Justin this weekend and had a great time. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly knew his stuff. They hit their limit, and Justin cleaned the fish and even gave solid cooking tips.

We had an amazing dinner that night thanks to him. Great service, great attitude—highly recommend fishing with these guys.”

“We went out Sunday morning with Captain Justin and had a blast. My 5-year-old caught a fish within 10 minutes, and everyone in our group landed at least one.

Even my mom—who doesn’t fish—had fun and caught two. No experience needed. Justin suggested we take our catch to Macduff’s for lunch, which was perfect. We’ll definitely book with Mile High again.”
