Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tahoe fishing report for March 24, 2025. First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with highs around 55°F and lows dipping to 35°F overnight. Winds are light at 5-10 mph from the southwest. Sunrise was at 6:56 AM and sunset will be at 7:18 PM. No tides to worry about here on the lake, of course!

Water temps are still chilly, hovering in the mid-40s. The lake level is sitting pretty close to the rim, which is great news for accessing those rocky shorelines.

Now for the good stuff - the fish! Mackinaw (lake trout) action has been heating up lately. Anglers are reporting solid catches in the 3-8 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds mixed in[1][5]. Rainbow trout fishing has been decent too, especially for shore anglers working the east side of the lake.

For you Mack attackers, jigging with large minnow-imitating lures in 80-120 feet of water is the ticket. The Tahoe Mack Slayer in silver/blue has been money. Trollers are having luck with Rapalas and Flatfish in rainbow trout patterns[1][15].

Shore anglers targeting rainbows are doing well with PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow. For you artificial purists (my people!), small gold Kastmasters or silver/blue Krocodiles are producing[11].

Kokanee salmon are still a bit slow, but we're starting to see some scattered catches in the 12-14 inch range. They should really start firing up in the next month or so[5].

Hot spots this week include the drop-offs near Cave Rock for Mackinaw and the shoreline around Kings Beach for rainbows[7]. If you're looking for some brown trout action, try working the mouth of Taylor Creek with nightcrawlers or small spinners.

For you fly fishing enthusiasts, the Truckee River has been fishing pretty well. Blue-winged olive hatches have been coming off, and streamer fishing can be good too. Nymphing is always a solid choice this time of year[13].

Remember, the limit is 5 trout per day, with only 2 Mackinaw allowed. And don't forget your 2025 fishing license!

That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines to ya!

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tahoe fishing report for March 21, 2025.

It's a chilly morning out on the Big Blue, with temps hovering around 40°F and expected to climb to the mid-50s by afternoon. We've got partly cloudy skies and a light breeze from the southwest. Sunrise was at 7:03 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the mountains at 7:12 PM.

Now, onto the fishing! The Mackinaw bite has been heating up lately, with anglers reporting solid catches in the 3-8 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds mixed in. Rainbow trout fishing has been decent too, especially in the shallower waters near the shoreline.

For you Mack hunters, focus on depths between 150-200 feet. Trolling with downriggers has been the ticket, using large spoons or minnow-imitating lures. The Apex Trout Killer in silver/blue has been a top producer. For rainbows, try casting small spinners or floating Rapalas near rocky points and drop-offs.

If you're looking to fill the cooler, head over to Donner Lake. They've been stocking it regularly, and folks are having a blast catching limits of pan-sized rainbows. Powerbait and nightcrawlers are your best bets there.

For you fly fishing purists, the Truckee River has been fishing well. BWO hatches have been consistent in the afternoons, and nymphing with small midges and baetis patterns has been productive all day long.

Hot spots this week: Cave Rock on the east shore has been giving up some nice Macks, and the mouth of Emerald Bay is always worth a shot for both Mackinaw and rainbows. If you're shore fishing, try the rocks near Tahoe City Marina in the early morning or late evening.

Remember, the lake's still pretty cold, so layer up and stay safe out there. Tight lines, folks!

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tahoe fishing report for March 19, 2025.

The weather's been pretty mild lately, with temps in the mid-50s during the day and dropping to the low 30s at night. We've got partly cloudy skies forecast for today, with a slight chance of afternoon showers. Sunrise is at 7:12 AM and sunset at 7:09 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.

Now, onto the fishing! The Mackinaw bite has been steady, with anglers reporting good catches in the 2-5 pound range. A few lucky folks have even landed some monsters pushing 10 pounds or more. Rainbow trout action has picked up too, especially near the creek mouths where they're starting to stage for their spring spawning run.

For you Kokanee enthusiasts, it's still a bit early, but we're seeing some scattered catches in the 12-14 inch range. They should really start firing up in the next month or so.

As for tactics, trolling has been the name of the game for Mackinaw. Flashers with a nightcrawler have been producing well, as have Rapala-style lures in rainbow trout patterns. For rainbows, try casting small spoons or spinners near the creek mouths or trolling with dodgers and small hoochies.

Bait-wise, nightcrawlers are always a solid choice this time of year. Minnow-imitating lures like Rapalas or Kastmasters in silver and gold have also been effective. Don't forget about the trusty old Woolly Bugger if you're fly fishing – black or olive have been the hot colors lately.

For hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around Cave Rock or Rubicon Point for some deep-water Mackinaw action. If you're after rainbows, the mouth of Taylor Creek has been producing well, as has the area around Kings Beach.

Remember, the lake level is still pretty low, so be careful when launching your boat. And as always, make sure you've got your fishing license and are up to date on all the regulations.

Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tahoe fishing report for March 17, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been heating up lately as we transition into spring.

First off, no need to worry about tides here on Big Blue - we're all about that freshwater action. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with highs around 55°F and lows dipping to 35°F overnight. Sunrise is at 7:12 AM and sunset at 7:06 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.

Now for the good stuff - the fish have been biting! Mackinaw (lake trout) are still the stars of the show, with anglers pulling in some nice 5-10 pounders from the depths. Rainbow trout action has been picking up in the shallows as the water warms, especially early mornings and late evenings. We've even had reports of a few brown trout being caught near creek mouths.

For you Mack attackers, jigging with tube jigs or spoons in 100-150 feet of water has been the ticket. Trolling with dodgers and nightcrawlers is also producing. Rainbow chasers are having luck with small spinners, Rapalas, and even some dry fly action on calm days. Don't forget about kokanee - they're starting to show up and respond well to small spoons or wedding rings tipped with corn.

Bait-wise, nightcrawlers are always a solid choice. Minnows (where allowed) and PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow colors are also getting it done. For you artificial purists (my kinda folks), Kastmasters, Tasmanian Devils, and Krocodiles in silver/blue or gold/red have been hot.

As for hot spots, Cave Rock on the east shore has been producing some nice Macks. For rainbows, try the mouth of Taylor Creek or along the west shore near Meeks Bay. And don't sleep on Donner Lake just up the hill - it's been giving up some chunky browns lately.

Remember to check those regs and get your license sorted. Tight lines, and I'll catch ya on the water!
