Boca Reservoir - Lake Tahoe Fishing

Located 2 miles north of the Boca exit off I-80 on Stampede Dam Rd.  Good early and late shore fishing with trolling a favorite on the lake.  Also shore fish the rocky sections of the stream inlet to the reservoir.  Shore fishing is fruitful using inflated nightcrawlers for trout near the dam and inlet area or switch to power bait and salmon eggs for rainbows.  If trolling, try flashers and Kokanee bugs for Kokanee.  Switch to a flasher/worm combination or minnow imitating lures for better success.  Fly fisherman are doing fair-to-good near the inlet with a variety of nymphs, streamers and emergers.  For more information contact the Truckee Ranger Station at (530) 478-6257.
