    Limited out on Kokanee salmon

    Half Day Trip (5AM) • 3 adults

    Fun time out fishing with Captain Rob. He was quite knowledgeable and quite willing to educate us on fishing for salmon since this was our first trip out on Lake Tahoe. The only letdown was due to our over expectation on how big the salmon were going to be since we only caught 2 year old silver salmon and after viewing all the pictures in the charter advertizments of people holding large lake and brown trout. Next time we will request a few hours of trout fishing mixed in with the salmon trolling.

    Reported catch:
    Sockeye Salmon

    First Fish On Lake Tahoe

    Half Day Trip (11AM) • 4 adults

    First time out on the waters and fishing. We’ve visited multiple times and have done hikes and walked around the area. Captain Rob was awesome. Got is set up quickly, caught 2 lake trout and a kokanee. He even dropped us off at a spot in emerald bay so we could do a quick sightseeing while he filleted our fish.

    Captian Rob was awesome and very attentive to catching fish. We had an awesome time with him. Very friendly and took time to learn about who we were. I will book another trip with him soon and recommend anyone that is looking to do a fishing trip on Lake Tahoe to use him! Thanks Captian Rob, Gordon and Rylan
