Lake Tahoe’s surface temps are still in the high 50s°F to low 60s°F, warming slightly in protected coves early and late in the day. Mackinaw are now holding deep—most are being caught around 370 feet via trolling or jigging. Kokanee have started schooling deeper in South Lake Tahoe; try running bright spoons or hoochies at about 70 feet. Rainbows and browns are cruising closer to shore near creek mouths. For trout, mornings and evenings are best, especially trolling in 30–40 feet along the west shore. If you’re fly fishing, nymphs under indicators work early, and dries can produce trout around dawn and dusk.
