  • Tahoe Trout and Mackinaw on the Bite - Ideal Conditions for Anglers on Lake Tahoe

    Tahoe Trout and Mackinaw on the Bite - Ideal Conditions for Anglers on Lake Tahoe
    May 21 2025
    Artificial Lure reporting from the shores of Lake Tahoe on this bright May 21, 2025 morning. The sun rose at 5:41 AM and will set tonight at 8:15 PM, giving anglers a full, long day to get lines in the water. The weather is clear and mild, starting cool in the low 40s but warming into the upper 60s by the afternoon. Winds are expected to be light, keeping the water calm and perfect for casting from both shore and boat.

    Lake Tahoe itself doesn’t have significant tides, but water levels are high this spring thanks to a solid snowpack. This means easy boat launching and good access in the shallows and around drop-offs. The Truckee River, flowing out of Tahoe, is running full and clear, which keeps the lake water moving and comfortable for trout activity[3].

    Fishing has picked up in recent days. Anglers are reporting regular catches of Mackinaw (lake trout) in the 3 to 8 pound range, especially early in the morning before the sun is high. Rainbows and browns have also been active, with some holdover rainbows pushing 20 inches being caught near creek mouths. Kokanee salmon schools are showing up deeper as the water warms, but the bite is spotty; persistence pays off.

    Best lures right now are large silver and blue spoons for Mackinaw, trolled deep at 80 to 120 feet. Jigging white tube jigs or swimbaits tipped with sucker meat is productive as well. For rainbows and browns, try casting small Kastmasters, Panther Martin spinners, or drifting nightcrawlers under a slip bobber near the mouths of Taylor Creek or the Upper Truckee River inlet. Fly anglers are having luck with Woolly Buggers and olive leech patterns, especially in the evenings.

    Bait anglers are doing well with threaded nightcrawlers fished off the bottom, and for those targeting Kokanee, try pink hoochies behind dodgers tipped with corn. Remember, California and Nevada fishing licenses are both valid on Tahoe, but regulations require you to carry one if you’re 16 or older[5].

    A couple of hot spots to try today: the shelf drop-off near Cave Rock for Mackinaw, especially at first light, and the mouth of Emerald Bay for rainbows and browns cruising for food on the shoals. Shore anglers should focus on the beaches near Tahoe City and Kings Beach where trout are pushing in close in the mornings and evenings.

    Fish safe, enjoy the spring scenery, and remember to check all current regulations before heading out. Tight lines from Artificial Lure, and good luck on the water today!

  • Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Mackinaw Madness, Trophy Trout, and Kokanee Crush

    Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Mackinaw Madness, Trophy Trout, and Kokanee Crush
    May 19 2025
    Howdy there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for May 19, 2025, around beautiful Lake Tahoe!

    Spring runoff is in full swing, and the trout are responding with some excellent feeding activity. The water clarity is absolutely phenomenal right now - locals are saying it's the best they've seen in decades, with that classic Tahoe glass-clear appearance.

    The big news continues to be the Mackinaw bite. Anglers have been landing limits of these lake trout, with some monsters in the 15+ pound range being caught just last week. Jason over at Cave Rock has been doing particularly well, and that whole stretch from Cave Rock to Logan Shoals is producing nicely.

    Browns are also in the mix, with a remarkable 10.25-pounder caught and released recently - a double-digit brown in Tahoe is quite the accomplishment! Keep an eye out for these trophy fish.

    Kokanee action has been heating up too. While Tahoe typically gives up Kokes around 14 inches, this season we're seeing some impressive 16-18 inchers, particularly in the southwest area of the lake at depths between 55-75 feet.

    For tackle, flashers with worms have been the go-to for many anglers, but I personally prefer using small Cowbells in gold and silver - they create less drag for a better fight when you hook up. Rapalas have also been productive both on top and down deep. The key is to keep changing patterns and sizes until you find what's working that day.

    Hot spots today include the stretch from Cave Rock to Logan Shoals for Mackinaw, and the southwest area for those bigger Kokanee. If you're looking to get away from the crowds (and yes, weekends have been busy), try the north and west shores for more sporadic but still rewarding Mackinaw action.

    The weather today is typical May - we'll see some sunny periods mixed with possible afternoon thunderstorms. That's just Tahoe spring weather for you! Get out early to avoid both the crowds and the afternoon wind.

    There's some concern about the low flows out of Taylor Creek potentially affecting the spawn for another year, which could impact future fish numbers. All the more reason to practice catch and release with those trophy fish.

    Whatever you target, the fishing is good to excellent right now. Good luck out there, and as always, tight lines to you all!

  • Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Spring Runoff, Trout Feeding, and Hot Spots for May 2025

    Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Spring Runoff, Trout Feeding, and Hot Spots for May 2025
    May 18 2025
    Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 18, 2025, around beautiful Lake Tahoe!

    The spring runoff is in full swing, folks! Current flows on the Truckee are running about 400 CFS through town and pushing 1000 CFS near Farad. That's a bit high but still fishable if you know where to look. Water's clear in the morning but gets a touch murky by afternoon as the day warms up.

    Water temps are sitting in the low 50s now, and that's got the fish more active than we've seen in weeks. The trout are starting to move out of their winter holding patterns and are becoming more aggressive. They're mainly hanging in deeper pools, tailouts, and those slower seams where they can conserve energy but still grab a meal.

    Hatches are picking up nicely! We're seeing good numbers of Blue Winged Olives, and the March Browns are finally showing up. PMDs should be popping any day now. If you're nymphing, go with a longer leader (12-15 feet) and use heavier anchor flies to get down in that faster water. For you streamer junkies, olive and black patterns are producing early and late in the day.

    Been hearing good reports from Emerald Bay where anglers are hooking into some nice Mackinaw and Rainbow Trout. The middle of the lake is also hot right now if you're looking for those bigger Macks. Don't forget about Zephyr Cove – trolling there on a breezy day like today could fill your cooler quick.

    The Truckee River is fishing surprisingly well despite the higher flows. Focus on that stretch where the river flows out of Lake Tahoe for some killer fly fishing. And if you're up north, Donner Lake has been giving up some jumbo Macks and a decent number of Rainbows.

    Best baits right now are small jigs and spoons if you're spin fishing. Work them slow and tight to structure. Fly anglers, stick with those nymphs I mentioned, or try swinging a leech pattern through deeper runs.

    Remember, we're heading toward the end of May when the bite typically turns around fast. Any day now, it'll be "game on" as the fish settle into their summertime patterns.

    Sunrise was at 5:41 this morning, and sunset's coming at 8:17 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and bend a rod!

    Tight lines, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off – see ya on the water!
