Lake Tahoe Fishing
People come to Tahoe from all over the world to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Sierras, but many come to fish in some of the most spectacular settings the world has ever known. Lake Tahoe has great fishing, trout, salmon, mackinaw, catfish and many others. Some of my favorite fishing holes though are out in Hope Valley. There's Red Lake, Caples Lake and Blue Lakes all within a few miles of eachother, and all are great spots to spend the day rustlin' up some dinner. Don't waste another minute, grab your rod and tackle box and enjoy fishing the areas most breathtaking and relaxing lakes.So, remember now, "Fishing is just a jerk at one end of the pole waiting for a jerk at the other end".
Maps, tips and regulations can be obtained from the Department of Fish and Game.

Blue Lakes
Blue Lakes
This is one of my favorite getaways, Blue Lakes is set into one of the prettiest locations you could find. The drive up to the lakes has awesome fishing along the river that straddles the paved road darn near the whole way up to Blue Lakes. Rainbows are planted here every other week June & July. Making the fishing pretty dang easy at another beautiful location. Browns can be found in Lower Blue Lake and cutthroat in Upper Blue Lake with rainbows galour!!! It's a 12 mile drive off the 88 but the remote mountain lakes are worth the extra bit of drive time. There is several camping areas that you can use around the lakes and on the road up to the lakes. Road is often closed by snow until June. Small boats only.
Directions - From Meyers, at junction Hwy's 50-89; take Hwy 89 S, go 11 mi. to junction with Hwy 88. Turn W; go 2.5 mi. on Hwy 88 to Blue Lakes Rd. Turn S, go 12 miles to Lower Blue Lake. Road turns N, 2 more mi., to Upper Blue Lake.
Caples Lake
Caples Lake
This
is an outstanding location to catch fish. Along with spectacular scenery and great fishing you can take your boat out or rent a boat at the marina. This lake is so popular that anglers will try their luck year-round at this prestine location. Definately one of my most favorite spots to catch some nice fish. Rainbows every other week spring and summer. Browns and brooks twice a year. Put-and-grow fingerling lake trout. Year around fishing, clear water, ice and snow in winter, shore is lined with large granite boulders: evergreen trees surround lake, some aspen and brush on slopes. Bait & tackle, store, resort. RV sites. The spring run-off has been filling Caples up at a rate of about a foot a day. This is great news to hear after seeing the levels so low at the end of last summer when Caples was drained for installation of new gates on the dam. So with water levels rising and thousands of pounds of new planters added regularly, this lake is a fisherman's paradise. Rent a boat or bring your own boat, or fish along shores, you'll be glad you came. .
Directions - From Meyers, at junction Hwy's 50-89; take Hwy 89 S, go 11 mi. to junction with Hwy 88. Turn W on Hwy 88, go 11.5 mi.

This is a nice easy hike of approximately 1/2 mile at 7450' elevation, easy to get to and well worth the hike.
