North Lake Tahoe’s Year-Round Fishing Charters
The Lake Trout, also known as Mackinaw, is not as brightly colored as other trout. It is dark gray or gray-green towards the top with a light gray or white belly with cream or light yellow spots over the body, head and tail. It also has a deeply forked caudal fin. Males develop a dark lateral line on their sides during spawning season.
The Lake Trout can grow up to 44” long and weigh up to 30 pounds.
Brown trout offer a great amount of variation in body coloration and spotting and survive in almost all cool water aquatic environments. The US has been home to several former world records although they are a non native species in the US.
The brown trout is a medium-sized fish, growing to about 44 pounds and a length of about 39″.
Rainbow trout are so called because they may have a very distinct red or pink lateral line. Rainbow trout are very similar to brown trout in terms of their feeding habits, taking mostly invertebrates on or below the surface of the lake. Their primary diet of river flies is supplemented by terrestrial insects or other fish. Their lifecycle is also very similar except that, in the wild, rainbows will usually spawn in the spring.
The Rainbow trout average about 20” to 30” long and around 8 pounds, but can grow as long as 4’ and weigh up to 53 pounds

EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Sara DavyJune 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our group of six had an amazing time on our excursion. Captain Chris is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Communication was great. Everyone caught their limit and we went home with lots of filets to have several meals with. Everyone agrees we would book with Sierra Fin Addicts again in a heartbeat! Zombie Killer76September 22, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely fantastic time. Captain Chris is very safe and knowledgeable. He gave us so many tips based on each of our individual skill levels. I cant wait to get back out there with him again soon. I definitely recommend these guys for your next charter. Thank you Chris!

Chris was great starting with the booking when he answered all questions and made the best recommendation for what we wanted to do. He kept me well informed and reached out a couple to times before the trip. On the day of the trip the boat was in great shape, comfortable and really clean. He had us on the fish right away and didn’t stop working and teaching us the entire time. It was me, my dad and son-in-law. We had our limit in a couple hours and lost a few more. He even filleted the fish and made cooking recommendations. Highly highly recommend. Arsen TujianJuly 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

First time out with Chris and couldn't ask for a better experience. Chris knows his stuff and will put you on fish. He is passionate and does whatever he can to make sure everyone is catching. If you just want to have fun, or learn everything about fishing Lake Tahoe, Chris is your guy. I would definitely recommend booking a trip whether you are a novice or experienced angler. Katie JOctober 9, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great fishing trip as always with Chris! This is are 10th trip with Chris and we always catch alot of fish. October might be cooler outside but hot for catching Mackinaw. We are so last minute trip people and he gets us on the water every time somehow. Stacy Goes OutsideOctober 8, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today was my fourth trip with Captain Chris Ditter and, just like my previous trips, this one was action-packed! Chris knows Lake Tahoe like the back of his hand and put us on the fish almost immediately. Safety is always at the forefront, which can be a challenge with a foursome on board and multiple double hook-ups at a time. Chris is able to manage all of the chaos on board while scouting for fish and maintaining awareness of his surroundings. Every time I fish with Chris he has dozens of hilarious stories to tell and he'll send you off with a nice bag of filets to bring home. Highly recommended! Katie ThomsonOctober 7, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a Wonderful fishing trip! My husband and I booked this trip very last minute for our anniversary, so big shout out to Chris for getting us out on the water! I am not one for fishing at all and had a great time on the water and I caught my very first two fish, ever! Bundle up if you are going early morning in October, boat was spacious and very clean!
