Spring Fishing is some of the best times for big “Lakers” These 20+ pound Mackinaw Trout are what anglers come to Lake Tahoe for at this time of year. But the spring season in Lake Tahoe is an excellent time for fishing for those looking to catch Mackinaw as well as other trout. As the snow melts and the water warms up, Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout are also feeding in shallower waters, while Cutthroat, Brook and Golden Trout all frequent the rivers and streams and sometimes the lake. There are some Kokanee Salmon in the late spring, but the summer is really the time for these delicious fish. A large number of Bass, both Largemouth and Smallmouth, are found spawning in the Tahoe Keys area, where the Mile High Fishing Charters boats are docked.

The summer season is the most popular time on the lake. It marks the start of the Kokanee Salmon season. These fish are much smaller, 12- 15 inch, relatives of Sockeye Salmon. They may be small, but they are highly aggressive and fun to catch, not to mention one of the most delicious fish in Lake Tahoe. Large Mackinaw are still in the waters, just a little deeper because of the rise in water, and Rainbow Trout come closer to the surface during the day, and Brown Trout are found feeding at dusk, so these are the best times to hook them. Summer is a fun time to be in Tahoe. The weather is perfect, there is plenty to do and see, and the Kokanee are biting. Don’t miss out on all the fun you can have in the sun on the blue Lake Tahoe water with Captain Joby and Mile High Fishing Charters.
Fall is the time for a change in Lake Tahoe. The leaves turn red, yellow, and orange, then drop to the ground. The flowers die to be reborn again in spring, the weather gets colder, and it is the last time to catch the Kokanee Salmon before they make their last journey upstream to spawn and die. It is also an excellent time for Rainbow Trout. They are getting larger as they come closer to the surface, feeding for the winter when they will go deep into the lake. Fishing with a charter service like Mile High Fishing Charter is really the best way to fish them. During these months, your cooler will be full of Kokanee, lots of Rainbows, some Macks and the occasional Browns. It is a great time to come to Lake Tahoe to fish.
Winter in Lake Tahoe may be known for exceptional skiing, but if you can handle the cold weather, the lake’s waters are still teeming with fish. The lake never freezes, making for great year-round fishing. Mackinaw Trout are your #1 catch during these months. They are found in all depths of the lake because they favor water temperatures of 54 degrees or colder. Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and small-sized Kokanee can also be hooked during the cold of winter. Mile High Fishing Charter’s boats are heated, so even when it is bitter cold outside, you can feel warm and toasty. While you may think of Tahoe in the winter and immediately think of freezing cold weather, there are actually plenty of sunny days and tons of fun to be had fishing on the waters of Lake Tahoe.
