Lake Tahoe boasts an impressive array of fish species, and you’ll have the chance to reel in Mackinaw, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Kokanee Salmon (available from July to September). It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the diversity of this magnificent lake’s aquatic life.

As we venture out onto the lake, remember to dress in layers. Lake Tahoe’s weather can change, and it’s important to stay comfortable throughout your trip. A light jacket or sweater is always a good idea to have on hand.
