Looking to go fishing in South Lake Tahoe? Then Tahoe Sportfishing has a trip with your name on it!

Mackinaw Lake Trout, Kokanee Salmon (Jul-Sep), Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, and mooching.

Your excursion begins aboard one of our 6 boats in our fishing fleet which can carry up to 8 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board for groups of 5 or more to help your trip run smoothly. A 15–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to have a CA or NV fishing license for everyone in your group. You can purchase a CA day or an annual license at our fishing office during check in.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. We offer water on all our trips and coffee for our morning trips. You are welcome to bring any additional food and beverages but all we ask is NO BANNANA's.

First time fishing was great
5 Hour Shared JUN/SEP1 6AM on July 2, 20262 adults

we are complete novices. But captain and crew were patient and showed us everything. It was a beautiful morning and even just being on the lake was a treat. What I appreciated was that everything we did they commented in order to make us feel successful and to stay engaged at the process. I’m so glad we did this together.

Thanks Dawson and Bobby
5 Hour Shared JUN/SEP1 6AM on June 22, 20262 adults

It was my sons first Charter experience and he had an amazing time. Thanks guys for truly making this a positive memorable experience for him. Fantastic customer service! This is my 2nd time with them. Big thanks the gentleman from Chicago that let my son reel in the fish that should have been his from the down rigger.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the great review and for choosing to fish with us again! We're so glad your son's first charter experience was such a memorable one. Captain Bobby and Dawson work hard to make every trip enjoyable, especially for young anglers, and they'll be happy to hear they helped create such a positive experience. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you and your son back aboard for another trip soon!

Afternoon Bite
4 Hour Shared JUN/SEP 12PM on June 17, 20263 adults

Captain Jim and 1st mate Will were great. Captain put us on them, and Will kept us baited up and our lines in the water. Both gave instruction to hone in our technique to hookup on some large lake trout.

Reported catch:

Response from Captain

Awesome trip, great views
4 Hour Shared JUN/SEP 12PM on June 10, 20262 adults

We had a great experience! Unfortunately the bite wasn’t on. Our group was lucky enough to watch a young man bring in a 24” Rainbow. What a great fish! Cesar and Connor were awesome! Thanks fellas!

Response from Captain

Thank you for the wonderful review! While we're sorry the fish weren't cooperating that day, we're glad you still had a great experience out on the water. Watching that impressive 24" Rainbow come aboard was definitely a highlight! We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Cesar and Connor—they'll appreciate the shoutout. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to have you back on the lake again soon for another adventure and even more fish!
