Fish gorgeous Lake Tahoe with light tackle specialist, USCG-licensed Capt. JD Richey for Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout (depending on the time of year).

JD’s been a full-time guide since 1998 and has been getting 5 STAR reviews for decades! In 2024, JD was inducted into the California Outdoor Hall of Fame.

Jigging, live bait drifting, casting, and trolling are all on the menu and JD provides top-notch light tackle to ensure you have the most fun catching fish.

Capt. JD’s 26’ hard top sportfisher is clean, comfortable, and incredibly spacious and features a heated cabin for those chilly mornings.

Kids and families are absolutely welcome and JD’s outings are perfect for anglers of all skill levels from beginner to advanced, as well as all sorts of gatherings—family vacations, bachelor parties, corporate outings, and more.

All bait & tackle and fish cleaning are provided (JD can also recommend a restaurant in town that will cook your catch). Bring your own drinks and snacks, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

Get in touch with Capt. JD below and start planning your trip today!
