Fishing Lake Tahoe

Mackinaw Trout

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

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

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

Client Reviews

“Chris and Brad were great guides. Nice boat, well set up and a lot of fun. Chris communicated well and was very professional when it came to communicating wind conditions and ability to go out on a successful trip. This was a family event and it couldn't have gone better. Great conditions, weather and overall trip. Highly recommend Chris and this charter.”

“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! My husband is already talking about our next trip!.”

“I’ve been out a few times now with Captain Chris and it always blows my mind how knowledgeable he is on the fish in Lake Tahoe. Nice big and clean boat with top of the line gear. Hard to beat a sunrise fishing trip on Lake Tahoe with an amazing guide that knows the honey holes. Highly recommend going out with Captain Chris, I’ll be back for another trip! Tight lines!.”

"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!"

"Chris is the best! Brought my dad and boys out for the day. We had a great time and caught our limit. I definitely recommend a trip."

"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."
