What's up, guys?

I'm headed up to Lake Tahoe for the long weekend. I'll be staying at a buddies cabin near the s/sw side of the lake. Yaks and fishing gear will be brought.

Any last minute advice on launch spot and/or techniques?

My plan so far is to either troll a Kastmaster (with or without an egg sinker to get it down a little), or find a nice spot to soak/drift some bait... I've also got rapalas, spoons, spinners, etc... Just no downrigger or lead core line.

Thanks for any tips!

Hey Alex,
Try trolling or jigging your kastmasters and spoons, or get a minnow trap and drift live bait for trout in deep water. Best bet is the Southwest side of the lake but if you're closer to the Southeast try Cave Rock/Zephyr Cove areas. If you have a setup for Kokanee I heard the bite has been strong lately (80'-120' fow). Hopefully others will know of good spots to launch I've only been out there on a PB. I'll heading up there next weekend so I'll be looking forward to your report.
Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. How deep do the trout tend to hold this time of year? I assume up top early in the morning then down deep?

I don't have any Kokanee tackle. Or a downrigger.
