Fish for Mackinaw on Lake Tahoe with an experienced crew, provided gear, and a comfortable boat with a heated cabin.

About this tour

Trade the shoreline for open water on a Lake Tahoe guided fishing charter, where the crew helps you pursue Mackinaw, the lake’s prized lake trout. Whether you’re new to fishing or already know your way around a rod, you’ll have expert guidance and gear ready for the day.

Head out aboard a fully equipped boat with a heated cabin and onboard restroom. The captain and crew provide fishing equipment and help you learn techniques, set lines, and work toward landing a catch. Trips last about four to five hours, giving you time to settle into the experience and enjoy the scenery across Lake Tahoe.

A fishing license is required for guests 16 and older, and the catch limit is five fish per person. Dress in warm, weather-appropriate layers, as conditions on the lake can change. After the trip, you can take your catch home or have it prepared at a local restaurant.

Book your Lake Tahoe guided fishing charter for a hands-on day on the water, with a knowledgeable crew and the comfort of a well-equipped boat.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.57 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Lake Tahoe
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
