On Lake Tahoe, most of the boat ramps have closed for the winter season, except for Sand Harbor, Pine Forest, and Cave Rock. Macks are still holding around 50–150 feet deep off the west shore, Cal Neva Hole, and South Lake. Trollers are finding trout 100 feet down along shoreline drop-offs. Shore anglers are getting a few bites in the mornings 20–30 feet from shore.
