Guides are reporting daily client trips yielding 10+ pound Mackinaw, typically targeting them in 60 feet of water on the north shore.

Now's the time for giant Mackinaw. Water and weather conditions have been perfect. Water temps remain chilly but the sky's been clear with plenty of sun. Drifters with live minnows are targeting 150-190 feet, while trollers have been successful upwards of 40 feet. Both techniques are getting decent numbers with 10+ pounders being not uncommon.

Lake Trout (Mackinaw)

Mackinaw action has been good and should continue this way for the next couple of months. The south shore has drawn the most attention and anglers are trolling depths ranging from 80-160 feet (with bigger fish being shallower). Follow the bait.

The water is cooling off quite a bit from chilly fall temperatures, and Tahoe has quieted down with many summer boats gone for the winter. But the mackinaw bite has been anything but quiet. Consistent sizable macks (no dinks) are being caught throughout the day, and the bite can only get better...

The water is cooling off quite a bit from chilly fall temperatures, and Tahoe has quieted down with many summer boats gone for the winter. But the mackinaw bite has been anything but quiet. Consistent sizable macks (no dinks) are being caught throughout the day, and the bite can only get better. Another few weeks and a further drop in water temperature will ignite rainbow trout. Stay tuned.
