Lake Tahoe is known for its excellent fishing opportunities. The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including kokanee salmon, rainbow trout, brown trout, and mackinaw trout. Nearby activities include hiking, boating, and skiing. When fishing in Lake Tahoe, it is best to use live bait and fish deeper waters. The best time of year to visit for fishing is during the summer months, from June to September, when temperatures average around 70°F. However, fishing is still possible in the spring and fall months.
