Big Lake Trout
The quarry is Big Lake Trout which has moved into the deeper sections of the Lake. We will also catch the occasional Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout, but most of the fish caught are Mackinaw. In most cases, we vertically jig lures and small flies, which the Mackinaw tend to love. This is a very “hands-on” style of fishing where each fisherman holds and jigs their own rod. Strikes tend to be a simple light bump and require the fisherman to focus on each rod jig. When you feel the bump, you need to reel up and set the hook, as the fish tend not to keep it in their mouth for long.
Prepare Your Catch In Many Delicious Ways
With the colder weather and waters the Lake Trout tend to firm up this time of year which makes them even better table fare. Baked Lake Trout with Lemon, Butter, and Parsley are my favorites, but you can also fry or grill these delicious fish. Lake Trout can get very big,; in many cases, a single fish will give you enough for a few meals, so you can test out many different preparations. Potatoes or rice make a great side dish and can be made in many different ways to match up with the way you have prepared the fish.
If you have never experienced dining on fresh trout that you have personally caught the day before is a real treat. I guarantee that you will remember that meal for many years to come. In many cases, you will also have enough fish to take home with you as a reminder of the fishing adventure you had on Lake Tahoe.
Covid And Lake Tahoe Fishing
The Lake Tahoe area is still fighting the covid virus but governmental precautions and common social distancing practices are keeping visitors safe. Restaurants are still open, casinos are active and you will find ample overnight accommodations. It is still suggested that visitors planning to come to South Lake Tahoe this holiday season make their plans and reservations well in advance.
