GIANT 17 Pound Mackinaw Landed on Lake Tahoe
Although Lake Tahoe isn’t mentioned in the same breath as Northern California’s top fishing destinations, you can still catch some beasts in Big Blue. That was recently proven with the catch of a monster Mackinaw from the lake’s most respected fishing outfitter.
Tahoe Sport Fishing is the largest fishing charter outfit on Lake Tahoe and they have the 20-year experience to help you catch one of the unique fish of the lake.
