Lake Tahoe Fishing Report
 |
July, 2011
 | LAKE TAHOE - No Report.
 | REMEMBER 500 FEET FROM ANY INLET OR YOU WILL GET A TICKET. |
|
 | DONNER LAKE - The Kokes are on the small side but biting.
The whole east end of the lake has kokanee biting at 45 feet. The
Mackinaw are biting right now also. We are getting about 5 Macks a
day .Most are from 3 to 5 pounds down at 150 feet on worms.
 | 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 bite has gone away for most
anglers. I don't know why, but the Kokes have shut down. Most
anglers are only getting 1 or 2 fish. The fish are at 50 feet. I
have been jigging for them and getting up to 8 fish sometimes. The
water is being pulled out of the lake so I think the current has
something to do with the bite being so slow. |
 | DAVIS LAKE - Davis lake has been good for the fly
fishermen. The Damsel Fly hatch is just about over. Soon the
trollers will be getting some nice fish. Start trolling over by the
inland, start off at about 15 feet. |
 | SHASTA LAKE - The King Salmon bite is good...try over in
the dry creek or out in front of the dam. Roll Shad at 120 feet for
the bigger fish. |
 | EAGLE LAKE - Eagle lake has been very good this
year with the lake up the fish are all over the lake. Soon when the
weather gets cold the fish will be up in the Youth Camp area feeding
on minnows so match the hatch . Use Artic Fox flies in the tui chub
pattern, or the all orange one. Troll them back behind the boat
about 150 feet, then put it in your downrigger and run then down
just below the surface of the water.
 | 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. |
