Lake Tahoe Fishing Report
 |
July 26th, 2010
 | LAKE TAHOE - Most anglers are fishing on the north shore
for Mackinaws. I would try out in the Tahoe city area. The Rainbow
Trout are back out in deep water. Trolling out in 30 to 80 feet of
water where there are a lot of rocks should get your bite. The Macks
are down at 120 to 180 feet. The Kokanee Salmon on the south shore
are biting, Try out in front of Camp Richardson. Sometimes you need
to go out in deep water to find them. They like red.
 | REMEMBER 500 FEET FROM ANY INLET OR YOU WILL GET A TICKET. |
|
| DONNER LAKE - Lots of boats. The Kokanee are small but
lots of them. Kokes are ranging 10 to 12 inches at around 50 feet.
Color is pink. The Macks are deep, try fishing for the Mackinaw at
the bottom on the south side at 150 feet with silver 3 inch
neddlefish.
| Please let the Big Macks GO (fish over 10 pounds). If we don't your KIDS wont have the chance that you have to catch one of these big fish that have been in the lake for 40 years. |
|
| STAMPEDE RESERVOIR - The Kokanee bite is still going
strong with fish being caught up to 18 inches. The bite is all over
the lake so pick a spot and start fishing. The fish are running
between 40 feet and 80 feet deep right now. No one lure is working
better then other ones, so try them all. The Mack bite is getting
better now that the Kokanee are going deeper. Try trolling a 5 inch
black and white skinny from A.C. Plugs down at 90 feet. The Rainbow
Trout skinny is working also. Some nice Browns have also been
caught. I had to make sure of the weight before I tell you. One
Brown weighed in at 22 pounds, one was 12 pounds and one was 11.5
pounds. All were caught trolling the shorelines.
| PLEASE TRY TO BOOK YOUR TRIP 2 WEEKS AHEAD OF TIME. BECAUSE
OF THE SIZE OF THE KOKES I AM GETTING CALLS EVERY DAY FOR TRIPS. |
DAVIS LAKE - The bite is good on Davis Lake. Most are getting
limits of Rainbows in the 14 to 17 size. Troll all over the lake.
The inland is a good spot and all the points on the west side of the
lake. |
| SHASTA LAKE - The trout are deep in the lake look for
them at 50 to 75 feet most of the time. Water temperature is high. |
| EAGLE LAKE - Eagle lake is good, just had some
clients that fished with S&S guide service said that they had there
limits by 9:30 AM with one fish weighing in over 4 pounds. They were
fishing over in the Pelican Point area with Artic Fox flies in
Orange.
| Beginning in
September, the big Rainbow Trout start moving to the north end of Eagle
Lake and that is when we start fishing for these monsters. One and two day guided fishing trips available. |
