While in Tahoe I thought I would try my hand at fishing...
I grew up on the east coast of FL and one of my favorite hobbies was fishing. At times having more or less success.
My first foray into Tahoe fishing was with guide service, bait, and tackle shop Chuck's Bait Tackle and Guide Service...

We left out of Sierra Boat Company at 6am on a 1/2 day trip (4 hour) with 4 anglers in search of Mackinaw (aka Lake Trout). Chuck's operates 2 boats. I was on Charlie's boat. Captain Charlie was great. Very personable and friendly...
Initially, we jigged in 190 feet of water without success. Then we started trolling with downriggers in 100-220 feet of water off Tahoe City. We had 4 bites and we caught all 4. The other boat (run by Chuck) reported 15 bites and 4 fish.
I very much enjoyed my experience... The one thing I was surprised at it the lack of communication between the guides in Tahoe. There is zero communication between the guides. It is every man (guide service) for themselves. I have taken guides in a variety of places. They are always talking. Not in Tahoe!
(To be clear, Charlie and Chuck talk via cell phone. They are on the same team -- Chuck's Guide Service. The radio is silent.)
Next, I went out with my brother-in-law... we cobbled together 2 pools using fly fishing gear... We tried bouncing a worm along the the outside of the buoy line (30-100 feet of water)... We had no success.
Finally, I got 4 spinning rods. I put 10 lb test. I set up 2 rods with lures (Kastmaster and Rapalla) and 2 rods with bait rigs and 4 oz weight. I trapped minnows using a minnow trap and dog food (I caught more crayfish than minnows). Regardless I failed to generate a single bite with either the lures from the dock (5-30ft of water) or the bait rigs (60-200 feet of water).
My recommendation to the amateur Tahoe fisherman. Call Chuck!!!
