Make an adventure out of your next trip in South Lake Tahoe and go fishing with Tahoe Trophy Trout.
These waters are known for Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Steelhead, Sockeye Salmon, and more. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
You’ll be dropping lines from a 22’ Starcraft boat with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Children are welcome, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be water provided on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Half Day Trip (5AM)
We spent the morning on a tour with Captain Rob from Tahoe Trophy Trout and it was amazing. Cpt Rob was friendly, experienced and very easy going. Since I am not a morning person the 5am start was a challenge for me and we were a little late. He took it all in stride and we caught some amazing (and delicious) large trout. Cpt Rob knew the lake well and knew exactly where to take us to get our haul for lunch. I unreservedly recommend Tahoe Trophy Trout to anyone wanting a great experience on the lake.

Really nice morning on the lake with Captain Rob. We caught 3 of 4 strikes, a 3-5 lb brown, 3-5 lb rainbow. and 2 lb stocked cutthroat (released). And still time to visit Emerald Beach to satisfy non-fishing friends.

This charter helped make my friends bachelor's party that much better. Big haul with a 14lb trout we kept for dinner and two 18lb+ trout we released. Definitely recommend.

Capt Rob made the experience super fun. The fishing was a bit slow, but we caught 3 Kokanee and 2 Lake Trout and one of the two was a PB at 11lbs.
