Fishing Report, July 3

Well, the fire at South Lake Tahoe is just about contained and, after staying away all last week, we got back out on the lake again today and found limits of macks for everybody on board.

We fished 2-ounce spoons in 80 to 130 feet of water and found most of our fish suspended below shrimp beds. The weather is beautiful and there’s no smoke up here on the North Shore! The smoke’s all but gone on the south end, too, so don’t hesitate to come up for the weekend. All the businesses down there could really use a good holiday weekend after that terrible fire.

We’ll be doing the mack thing all month and then it’s off to the Klamath for some cool jetboat salmon & steelhead fishing in August. I still have a spot or two left for that if you’re into it…
