So we're going camping with my sister and her family at Lake Tahoe on the California side.
Having done some googleing I have come to understand that the lake is deep, 1,500ft in places, cold and a PITA to fish from the bank. The fishes are mostly lake trout and some type of non-migratory salmon.
We will be at DL Bliss state park on the SSW part of the lake near Emerald Bay.
I should be able to drive somewhere within 30 minutes of the campground to fish in tributaries, rivers, ponds, etc. since lake fishing is supposed to be so difficult.
I plan on bringing a pflueger prsident spinning reel and rod combo with 10lb braided sufix. I have bought two Kastmaster 1/4 oz spoons in chrome/blue and gold for the trout and salmon as I heard they were good for that type of fishing. I also will bring my soft side tackle bag full of lures and stuff I'd use for multi-specie fishing here in central Ohio.
Please tell where to go and how to fish this place.
If you could also let me know what terminal tackle I WON'T need to bring, it could save me some lugging. Crankbaits, jigs, topwaters, sinkers, hooks, etc.
If I'm "taking a knife to a gun fight" with my ML rod and reel, please tell me as well. I do have all my saltwater gear in a variety of heavy weights that I could bring instead.
Thanks in advance for your help.
