あらすじ・解説
As of October 27, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Tahoe, particularly around Spooner Lake, is looking promising despite the autumn chill. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Time
The weather is expected to be crisp, with daytime temperatures in the mid-50s and nighttime temps dipping below freezing. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM. This time of year, the cooler temperatures are helping to thin out the shoreline vegetation, making shore access easier.
### Fish Activity
Fishing has been fair at Spooner Lake, with both bait and fly anglers finding some success. The trout are active, especially in the deeper waters. Fly and spin fishermen are catching quality tiger trout around the weed beds and along the eastern shore. Rainbow trout and bowcutt trout (a hybrid of rainbow and cutthroat trout) are the primary species being caught, with sizes ranging from 10 to 14 inches, and some larger ones up to 16 inches.
### Stocking Updates
Recently, on September 14, 2024, Spooner Lake was stocked with 126 rainbow trout, 6 Lahontan cutthroat trout, and 14 brook trout. This stocking, combined with previous ones, ensures there are plenty of fish to target.
### Best Lures and Bait
For effective fishing, use small spinners or spoons to reach the deeper waters. Fast-sinking fly lines and heavy spinners will help you get past the abundant Lahontan tui chub and into the trout zone. Bait such as salmon eggs and baby crawlers under a bobber are also enticing the occasional trout. Night crawlers and Power bait are equally effective.
### Hot Spots
Spooner Lake itself is a hot spot, especially the eastern shore where the weed beds are. Another good area is around the deeper waters accessible by boats or float tubes. If you're looking to explore other areas, the Truckee River below the 182 bridge is also fishing okay, though the flows are on the low side.
### Additional Tips
Remember to use caution when launching boats due to the dropping water levels. The Nevada Division of State Parks charges a fee to enter Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, but the amenities such as picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms, and water make it well worth the visit.
