Believe it or not, snow sports aren’t the only main activities that bring people to this area. There’s also Lake Tahoe fishing. The popularity of this Tahoe thing to do is made clear by the number of guide and charter services that circle the lake. Of course, there are plenty of Lake Tahoe fishing charters on Big Blue, but you can also experience dropping lines into Donner Lake, the Truckee River, Spooner Lake, the East and West Walker rivers and many other local waterways. Unless you’ve fished these waters a lot, it’s a good idea to go out with a guide. These folks know the waters, the fish, the regulations and how to stay safe on Lake Tahoe and other fishing sites. If you’re here to fly fish, you’re in good company. Again, there are lots of Lake Tahoe fishing guide services that can get you right to the secret spots and help you with that wrist action too! What can you expect to catch during a Lake Tahoe fishing excursion? Mackinaw, rainbow trout, brown trout, Kokanee salmon and more! That’s some good eating! Some of the Tahoe fishing charters will even clean and bag your catch at the end of the day.
