As of November 15, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe is thriving despite the cooling weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
First, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. The sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:30 PM.
Lake Tahoe, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.
The fish activity has been quite vibrant, especially in the southwest area of the lake. This region has been most productive at depths of 55-75 feet. Yesterday, anglers reported catching impressive Kokanee salmon, with many reaching sizes of 16-18 inches, which is above the typical 14-inch average. Mackinaw trout are also being caught, although the action has been sporadic, with the north and west shores being the most productive areas[1][5].
For lures and bait, it's recommended to use lures that mimic the natural prey of these fish. For Kokanee, try using small spoons or dodgers with a lure that imitates a minnow or a shrimp. For Mackinaw, larger spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish can be effective.
If you're looking for hot spots, the southwest area of the lake is a must-visit, particularly at the mentioned depths. Additionally, the north and west shores are good spots for targeting Mackinaw trout.
Remember, there are a lot of boats out, especially on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly. Also, be aware that low flows out of Taylor Creek might impact the spawn for future fish populations, but for now, the fishing remains excellent.
Enjoy your day on Lake Tahoe
