Lake Tahoe Fishing Report
 |
September 17th, 2009
 | LAKE TAHOE - The bite is slowly starting to change. Some
anglers are starting to jig for the Mackinaw. Some are fishing on
the point of Crystal Bay. Look for them at about 150 feet. Some
times there are in closer. Trolling is still very good. Troll out in
the Tavern Hole area.
 | REMEMBER 500 FEET FROM ANY INLET OR YOU WILL GET A TICKET. |
|
| DONNER LAKE - The lake is dropping right now, so the ramp
will be a little harder for boats over 20 feet to launch. The
Kokanee Salmon bite is still doing good. The Kokes are out in front
of Loch Leaven Lodge and a little to the west. Troll out 50 feet and
try fishing on the bottom.
| 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 Kokes are moving up to the river
arms to spawn. I have been fishing for them out in front of the
Little Truckee arm in about 70 feet of water. Most of the Macks can
still be caught all over in deep water and in front of the dam.
Trolling and jigging is doing well. Both are being done at about 90
feet. Some Browns are being caught off the points in the Sage Hen
and Little Truckee arms as they stage to spawn. |
| DAVIS LAKE - The fish are moving around and the bite is
picking up for those trolling. Try a long line with green or brown
flies. |
| SHASTA LAKE - The Kings are on a bite and they are
ranging around 4 pounds. Lots of trout are starting to show up close
to shore. A good cold spell and the bite will get even better. |
| EAGLE LAKE - Water level is low so launching is
tough. The fish are still in there summer mode, being that they are
still at the south end .Some are moving up into the Miners Camp area
and north. You need to fish early then go deep. WITH THE WATER SO
LOW ITS A GOOD THING TO ONLY KEEP THE FIRST 2 YOU CATCH NO CATCH &
RELEASE...AS THIS IS HARD ON THE FISH. WHEN THE WATER TEMPERATURES
COMES DOWN IT SHOULD BE OKAY FOR CATCH & RELEASE.
| 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. |
