Tahoe Keys Lagoon Fly Fishing
Safari-Theme Home

	Enjoy superb fishing on America's largest alpine lake with salmon (kokanee), rainbow trout, mackinaw (lake trout), brown trout , brook trout and cut throats.

Tahoe Keys lagoons are filled with bass, crappie, trout and even enormous goldfish. Fishing from a small boat or from a private dock gives you the chance of catching a Keys Grand Slam (rainbow, brown, crappie, large mouth and bluegill).

March, April, and May seem to be the best months especially during the evening with a light to moderate breeze. With a breeze creating cover, the fish move around more and appear to be safe from osprey, chasing minnows and crayfish. Mornings are good as well if there is a breeze or cloud cover.

Good flies for trout are wooly bugger and lake chub with a full sinking line. A crawdad pattern also works well from time to time. To catch bass, a surface popper is best once the water warms up. At any other time, a good size streamer will work wonders stripped fast along the docks.

Crappie go after brightly colored bead-headed wooly buggers with a full sinking line. The back sloughs tend to be best for the crappie and bluegill. The bass seem to be spread out all over the Keys with quite a few of them near the Marina. And don't be surprised if you hook a catfish as well.

Kids can catch quite a bit from the docks. Best to use an indicator and a small nymph. Have them cast out and then slowly retrieve the indicator and fly keeping slight movement at all times. When the indicator goes down, set the hook and bring it in!

Lake Tahoe has numerous fishing charter companies that can arrange and outfit your fishing trips.
