Fishing remains consistent on Lake Tahoe with surface temps in the mid-60s°F. Kokanee are concentrated on the west shore between DL Bliss and Sugar Pine, running 40–60 feet deep and up to 17" long. Mackinaw are deeper—120–300 feet—near the Cal Neva Hole and South Lake, with fish hitting on trolled plugs or jigged minnows. Trout are around 100 feet, hitting Rapalas for boat anglers. Shore anglers are picking up the occasional trout around 30 feet off the bank. Boat traffic has slowed but can still spike with weather; best action is early or late.
