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