July Fishing Report | Tahoe Sportfishing
Summer on Lake Tahoe has been nothing short of incredible, and July was our best month of the season so far. Our fleet landed an amazing 2,502 fish throughout the month, with excellent action for both Mackinaw and Kokanee Salmon.
July Catch Totals
- 2,502 Total Fish Caught
- 1,636 Mackinaw Lake Trout
- 860 Kokanee Salmon

July brought warm summer days, calm mornings, and outstanding fishing across Lake Tahoe. While Mackinaw fishing remained consistent, the Kokanee bite really took off this month, providing exciting action and plenty of happy anglers aboard.
Whether you’re introducing your family to fishing, chasing your personal best, or simply looking for a memorable day on the lake, there’s no better time to experience Lake Tahoe than summer.
