Captain Brad Bugica has been fishing since he was 8 years old. He became a California licensed guide in 1992 and has been guiding full time since 2006. Both challenging and rewarding, he has loved every minute of it. You can fish with him year-round in Lake Tahoe or in the Sacramento area from fall to late spring.

9 30 am tahoe trip • 2 adultsWonderful surprise for my son to fish on Lake Tahoe and actually catch our dinner. He’s headibg off to college so this was a bonding memory. Capt Brad and his assistant Michelle were fabulous hosts for a fun time on the lake. Highly recommend them for your fishing adventures. 🎣

Half Day Trip - 5 30am • 4 adults • 1 childWe spent the early morning trolling for lake trout and caught the limit in a couple of hours. Captain Brad was cheerful and conversational, answering all of our questions about the lake, the technique, and the local conditions. He ably cut and filleted our fish and that evening we had a fantastic meal. Both of our kids had a great time and one even said it was their favorite part if the trip!

9 30 am tahoe trip • 6 adultsOur family had a great fishing trip on Lake Tahoe for Mackinaw Trout with Captain Brad. The lake was beautiful and the fish were plentiful. We even took a dip in the lake. Brad kindly filleted our fish for us which made cooking them a breeze. Highly recommended for a memorable family experience.

Summer is here and now you can book a 5 am start or a 9 am start time. Both trips can be excellent. My 9 am trips usually see good numbers but on avg the fish are a little smaller. You can also swim during each outing.

Lake tahoe and pyramid lake fishing trip
Nov 26, 2024 • Carnelian Bay
With winter weather settling in on us this past few weeks lake tahoe has not been fishable many days. Pyramid lake on the other hand is a little more forgiving and it fishes most days when tahoe is a blow out. The pyramid lake cutthroat are amazing and get huge! Please check with me for availability on either body of water.
