Lake Tahoe Fishing - Don Sheetz Fishing Charters
Tahoe Keys Marina
South Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe offers the best Kokanee and Lake Trout (Mackinaw) fishing in
California and Nevada. And the best part is that Captain Don Sheetz, knows
where to catch them!! He should, he's been a Lake Tahoe guide
for 27 years!
The state record Kokanee and Lake Trout came from
Tahoe. The Kokanee record is 4 lbs. 15 oz. and the Mackinaw record is 37
lbs. 8 oz. The bite for Mackinaw is excellent in the spring and early
summer as the fish are hungry after winter and Mackinaw move into
shallower water. Mackinaw average 3 to 5 lbs. and fish from 5 to 10 lbs.
are quite common. Mid summer is when the Kokanee really start biting at
south shore. These fish are smaller than Mackinaw, but are good fighters
and provide fast and furious action.
