As a family owned and operated company, we care about your experience and ensure that you will have an unforgettable time on Lake Tahoe!
Dean Lockwood was the original owner and John Shearer began working for him as a fishing deckhand in 1990. Dean taught Captain John the ways to fish in Lake Tahoe. Captain John and his wife Shannon later purchased the company in 1997.
Over 20 years later, Tahoe Sport Fishing has the largest fishing fleet in Lake Tahoe and is continuously voted Best of Tahoe year after year! John and his wife Shannon have successfully grown the company into what it is today and put fishing back on the must-do list for year-round activities on Lake Tahoe!
Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience on beautiful Lake Tahoe! Our captains are experienced in trolling, drifting and jigging and they’re here year-round to guide you to the lake’s hot spots! We supply everything you need and offer two departure times per day for public and private charters!
We recommend that our customers dress in layers, so as to be prepared for all weather conditions. November through May can bring snow and/or rain and cold temperatures. Unlike weather in other parts of the country, cold weather here is a dry cold. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen!
Don’t forget your CA or NV State Fishing License! All fishermen 16 & older are required to have a fishing license for either California or Nevada.
If you don’t have one already, we sell the CA one-day and annual licenses in our Ski Run office!
The one-day license is $20.26 each and can be purchased when you check in for your charter.
