  • Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Spring Runoff, Trout Feeding, and Hot Spots for May 2025

    Lake Tahoe Fishing Report: Spring Runoff, Trout Feeding, and Hot Spots for May 2025
    May 18 2025
    Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 18, 2025, around beautiful Lake Tahoe!

    The spring runoff is in full swing, folks! Current flows on the Truckee are running about 400 CFS through town and pushing 1000 CFS near Farad. That's a bit high but still fishable if you know where to look. Water's clear in the morning but gets a touch murky by afternoon as the day warms up.

    Water temps are sitting in the low 50s now, and that's got the fish more active than we've seen in weeks. The trout are starting to move out of their winter holding patterns and are becoming more aggressive. They're mainly hanging in deeper pools, tailouts, and those slower seams where they can conserve energy but still grab a meal.

    Hatches are picking up nicely! We're seeing good numbers of Blue Winged Olives, and the March Browns are finally showing up. PMDs should be popping any day now. If you're nymphing, go with a longer leader (12-15 feet) and use heavier anchor flies to get down in that faster water. For you streamer junkies, olive and black patterns are producing early and late in the day.

    Been hearing good reports from Emerald Bay where anglers are hooking into some nice Mackinaw and Rainbow Trout. The middle of the lake is also hot right now if you're looking for those bigger Macks. Don't forget about Zephyr Cove – trolling there on a breezy day like today could fill your cooler quick.

    The Truckee River is fishing surprisingly well despite the higher flows. Focus on that stretch where the river flows out of Lake Tahoe for some killer fly fishing. And if you're up north, Donner Lake has been giving up some jumbo Macks and a decent number of Rainbows.

    Best baits right now are small jigs and spoons if you're spin fishing. Work them slow and tight to structure. Fly anglers, stick with those nymphs I mentioned, or try swinging a leech pattern through deeper runs.

    Remember, we're heading toward the end of May when the bite typically turns around fast. Any day now, it'll be "game on" as the fish settle into their summertime patterns.

    Sunrise was at 5:41 this morning, and sunset's coming at 8:17 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and bend a rod!

    Tight lines, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off – see ya on the water!

  • "Tahoe Trout and Bass Bonanza: A Springtime Fishing Report from Lake Tahoe"

    "Tahoe Trout and Bass Bonanza: A Springtime Fishing Report from Lake Tahoe"
    May 17 2025
    Artificial Lure here, reporting from beautiful Lake Tahoe on this cool May morning, May 17, 2025. The sun peeked up today just after 5:45 AM and will set around 8:10 PM, so you’ve got a generous window to wet a line and chase those bites. Weather-wise, we’re shaping up for a classic Tahoe spring day: crisp and clear in the early hours, warming up as the afternoon rolls in. Winds are expected to stay moderate, so it should be comfortable out on the water or casting from shore.

    Fishing activity has been good to fair lately. Mackinaw trout continue to headline the action, with limits reported by anglers trolling deeper water off the South Shore and around the Cave Rock area. Some have even landed a couple of brown trout mixed in among the macks. Rainbow trout are making their presence known in the shallows, and the bite picks up especially during the early morning chill and the evening golden hour. For the bass crowd, Tahoe Keys is waking up nicely as water temps creep up—expect active largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially around pockets of underwater vegetation and near docks and rocks. The Keys is a solid hotspot this week for those looking to mix things up beyond trout.

    Reports from the last few days show consistent catches of Mackinaw (averaging 3 to 7 pounds), a scattering of rainbows around 2 to 4 pounds, and small browns. The bass in the Keys are ranging from 2 to 5 pounds, with both largemouth and smallmouth eager to hit moving baits.

    For lures, you can’t go wrong trolling classic spoons, like silver or gold Thomas Buoyants, or running Rapalas in blue/silver or darker trout patterns for macks and browns. Jigging with white or chartreuse tubes over deeper structure is also producing. Rainbows are taking small spinners, Panther Martins, and live nightcrawlers drifted near drop-offs. If you’re after bass, soft plastics in green pumpkin and dark craw or shad imitations are working, along with spinnerbaits and small crankbaits mimicking baitfish.

    Hot spots this week are:
    1. South Shore drop-offs, both for Mackinaw and browns—best early, around 50 to 120 feet deep.
    2. Tahoe Keys for bass—hit it late morning as things warm up, casting near docks and reeds.
    3. Cave Rock and Zephyr Cove for rainbows, especially with live bait or drifting worms.

    No tidal activity to worry about here, but watch the wind, as weather can turn quickly in the high country. Overall, fishing is on the upswing as the lake settles into spring. Tight lines and good luck out there—this is Artificial Lure, hoping your next cast is the one that bends the rod all the way to the handle.

    Recent catches are rolling in strong and it’s a perfect time to hit the water—see you out there.

    Lake Tahoe Fishing Report - May 16, 2025: Macks, Kokanee, and More on the Menu
    May 16 2025
    Howdy there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tahoe fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 16th, 2025.

    Folks, the fishing has been good to fair on Lake Tahoe this past week. I've been getting reports that Jason's been having some real nice luck, pulling in limits of mackinaws and even a few browns. If you're heading out today, your best bet is to try the stretch from Cave Rock up to the north shore.

    The weather's shaping up nicely today with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-60s by afternoon. We've got clear skies overhead with just a light southwest breeze that'll pick up a bit around midday – pretty much perfect fishing conditions if you ask me!

    The Kokanee action has been heating up something fierce as we push deeper into May. Anglers have been averaging about 3-5 fish per rod, with most catches coming from depths between 50 to 75 feet. Wedding rings behind a Tahoe Trolling Flasher have been working wonders for these fellas. You can snag those at Tahoe Bait and Tackle if you're in need.

    Mackinaw fishing continues to be productive, especially in the early morning hours. Several nice catches reported recently, with some real beauties in the 14-20 pound range being pulled in over the past year or so. If you're targeting these lake trout, try deeper waters and don't be afraid to mix up your presentation.

    For those looking to try their luck elsewhere, Topaz Lake has been good when the wind isn't kickin' up. Most folks there are using flashers and worms, but I prefer small Cowbells in gold and silver – they create less drag for a better fight. Rapalas have been productive both on top and down deep.

    If you're willing to make the drive, Bridgeport Reservoir has been absolutely on fire the last couple weeks. Rainbows from 2 to 6 pounds have been coming out. Many anglers are boating over to Rainbow Point and bait fishing with nightcrawlers, while others are trolling Rapalas or Thomas Buoyant spoons for the larger fish.

    Hot spots for today: I'd recommend focusing on the Cave Rock area for mackinaws, or if you're after Kokanee, try the waters off Tahoe City. The south shore has also been producing some nice catches lately for those willing to go a bit deeper.

    Sunrise today was around 5:45 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the mountains about 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. No tidal concerns here on our beautiful mountain lake!

    Good fishin' and tight lines to ya! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until tomorrow.
