If you're going to cast a line in South Lake Tahoe, look no further than Scotty's Sportfishing. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Scott can tell you all about them.

Lake Trout, and more can be found in these waters all year long. On these trips, it's common to troll using light tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Scott operates a 31' Defiance sportfishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and 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, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Scotty's Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Unbelievable day!!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 7, 20264 adults

Our group of 4 had the best time fishing with Captain Scotty. He had us reeling in the Kokanee Salmon within the first few minutes! All of us caught several fish. Weather was perfect and the lake is so beautiful. Could not have asked for a better day. We took our fresh catch to local restaurant (Elements) where they will cook it for you. We can’t wait to come back and fish with Captain Scotty again!

Great Fishing Experience!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 12, 20265 adults

My sons, grandsons, and I had a spectacular day on the lake with Captain Scotty. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made it his mission to find fish and gave excellent instruction on technique. We caught ten Lake Trout that we brought in and dropped off at Elements Restaurant, which the Capt. recommended, for preparation for dinner that evening. To enjoy our catch that fed 14 people was a most satisfying experience! Captain Scotty has years of in-depth knowledge of this beautiful lake.

A sunrise fishing trip - Great Time
5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 12, 20264 adults1 child

We had a great time fishing and making memories. Scott was a wonderful captain, and made sure we hit the right spots for fising, and took good care of us. He helped my son with understanding how to use the fishing rods, and made it back before high winds were expected to come in.

We had the best time aboard Captain Scott’s charter! He taught us new ways to fish and was so patient with our kiddos (ages 8 and 10). He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. Highly recommend!

2 trips are better than one
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 22, 20261 adult

I booked two trips, 1 afternoon trip and then a trip the next morning. Got the full experience for fishing and Lake Tahoe scenery. Captain Scott put us on the fish and he is a great guy. Really enjoyed talking to him and learning about the area from someone who has been around the lake for over 30 years. I'll be back, and I highly recommend Captain Scott to all fisherman.
