Lake Tahoe’s surface temps in the mid‑50s are triggering a multi‑species bite this week. Deep trolling (60–120 ft) is producing Mackinaw trout to 15+ lb; kokanee are schooling deep; and inlet fishing yields rainbows and browns near 20″. Fish deep early, then shift ‘up’ as the daily hatch intensifies. Mornings provide optimal clarity; afternoons may bring wind. Bring both CA and NV fishing licenses.
