Following an outstanding early summer with giant Mackinaw, the shift to Kokanee has been equally impressive. Tahoe typically produces Kokes up to 14 inches, but this year, 16-18 inch fish are not uncommon. The southwest area of the lake has been most productive at depths of 55-75 feet. There are a lot of boats out, especially on weekends.

There's still concern that the low flows out of Taylor Creek might hinder the spawn for yet another year... a major worry for future numbers.

Mackinaw action has been sporadic, although fish are still being caught. The north and west shores have been the most productive.
