Always be careful of icy conditions on the ramp as some do not drain out the water of the boat trailers before pulling up. The fishing for limits of Mackinaw Lake Trout has been very good to " GREAT " !! Quality Fish are being netted from 3 to 17 pounds . Dodgers and minnows , flashers and minnows . and Flatfish in chrome or white have been productive as the Mackinaw are feeding to put back the pounds that they lost spawning . " Action for the Lake Trout in waters on Tahoe from 80 to 250 feet . The Trick " is to find out were they are still feeding and are not full. Another technique is to wait until later in the day  as they will start feeding again . Bounce the bottom and speed up every now and then to activate a strike .
