In seasonPrime timeFrom JD’s seasons. Weather and water move the bite, and we fish where it’s best that week.
Spring on Tahoe
Mixed-bag season. Lake trout, browns, rainbows and cutthroat near the surface, sometimes all four in one trip.
Summer on Tahoe
Lake trout go deep and the kokanee schools build. Mornings are glassy and the views are unbeatable.
Late summer
JD heads north to guide in Alaska, so Tahoe trips wrap up in late August.
Fall & winter at Pyramid
October 1 opens trophy season for giant Lahontan cutthroat, running through March 31.
