Good Mackinaw bite
Trout, Mackinaw
53°F Very Clear

Tahoe is set for some snow next week, but it shouldn’t put a damper on what’s been a good bite for both Mackinaw and rainbows. Over the last few weeks, Macks were holding very deep during spawn (250 ft), but that’s just about wrapped now. They’re starting to move up shallow, chasing schools of minnows. Rainbows are cruising high in the water column...

Tahoe is set for some snow next week, but it shouldn’t put a damper on what’s been a good bite for both Mackinaw and rainbows. Over the last few weeks, Macks were holding very deep during spawn (250 ft), but that’s just about wrapped now. They’re starting to move up shallow, chasing schools of minnows. Rainbows are cruising high in the water column, too. Trolling is still the go-to, but shore casters are finding both Macks and rainbows as well. Brown trout action has been quiet, but the occasional cutthroat is being caught. Hopefully, the kokanee spawn fires up soon, though flows out of Taylor Creek are looking low... next week's weather pattern could help.
