I'm not a real lake trout fan, but I was just at the grocery store and picked up the latest issue of Salmon, Trout, Steelheader magazine. There's an article about Lake Tahoe. Looks like the Gorge and Blue Mesa are on the backburner for a while. Some guy caught a bunch of big macks at Tahoe and one was an 87 pounder! He rigged a big ocean reel with 700 yards and was fishing an underwater hump at 900 feet deep! His bait was 10-12 pound dead mackeral rigged on a 20/0 hook. Bet there aren't many that big in there and you mack lovers ought to get 'em while you can.
