Looking to get your kids out fishing? This is a great spot outside the hustle and bustle of SLT…read morewhere you can find a bit of quiet and a good opportunity to catch fish for the youngins. I discovered this pond last summer and am so glad I did. My kids (5, and 8) have taken some sincere interest in fishing and Sawmill was the perfect place to teach them some basics. There's a large parking lot and easy access to the shoreline of the pond with some quality shade opportunities to fish from. During the weekday afternoon we were there, the traffic was light and we had a lot of choices on where to fit. Sadly the time of day probably didn't help us get bites, but we had some chances to catch and a lot of quality time together. I imagine if you hit this on the right day near a stocking, the bite could get hot and really hook a kid on fishing. This is a great community resource that is largely frequented by locals. It presents a good opportunity to get your kids out fishing and I highly recommend you get it on your radar for a future visit.

As soon as we parked, we were greeted by the friendly "grandpa" who welcomed us in. Once inside, a younger gentleman got us started and did an excellent job explaining everything in detail, answering questions, and making sure everyone felt comfortable before we began. The setup is fantastic. Your rod, bait, and bucket are all provided, and the facility is clean and well maintained. Fish are priced by the length of your catch, and there is no catch-and-release. They even have a smaller pond with larger fish if you're looking for more of a challenge. The fish were biting! In just about two hours, our group caught 10 fish. There are picnic tables, benches, and a hand-washing sink, making it easy to relax and clean up afterward. When you're done fishing, they offer several processing options at very reasonable prices. For just $2 per fish, they'll clean it, and they also offer filleting, vacuum sealing, and even fun photo opportunities with your catch. The customer service throughout the entire experience was outstanding. A couple tips: there's very little shade, so definitely bring sunscreen, and the mosquitoes can be active, so bug spray is a good idea. If you're visiting South Lake Tahoe, this is an absolute must-do activity for families, couples, or groups of friends. The staff genuinely made the experience memorable. And don't forget to tip--they absolutely deserve it! You can leave cash or simply add it to your credit card transaction.

We had a lot of fun here today. We were worried about there being a crowd because of the…read moreJuneteenth holiday and Fathers day weekend, but there was no line at all when they opened at 10am. There are 2 small parking lots. The one closest to the entrance opens exactly at 10am. The other one seems like its always open. They have everything you need to fish for trout. They supply the rod, bait (worms and salmon eggs) bucket, nets, a metal rod to hit the fish on the head, and a hook release tool that helps take the hook out of the fishes mouth. They give you instructions on how to safely handle the fish. We arrived at 10, and we started to get a little frustrated when we realized it was past 11am and we had no fish yet. We just needed to figure out the technique. We finally ended up taking out the worm bait and casting it back out rather than letting it sit. That seems to attract the trout better. Once we figured it out, we caught 3 big fish by 1230. We had our 3yr old and 11mo old with us. We brought our kids wagon to push them around in. Our 3yr old had so much fun. There are 2 separate ponds. One has smaller trout, the other has large trout. If you don't mind going all out and you dont have a limit on spending, its worth fishing on the larger fish side. We caught 3 fish and the total came out to $211. But we knew it would be expensive, dont let that scare you. If you don't want to spend that much, just fish on the small fish side. At the end, they only charge you for the size of each fish, and $10 for the bucket of items. They also clean the fish for you and put them on a stick so you can take a family photo together. They will also offer to put the fish on ice in a bag. We took our fish to McDuffs afterwards. They tell you theres a minimum wait of 2hrs, but they ended up getting us in within 30mns. Great place to eat! We'll be coming back here to fish again for sure! We're already talking about coming back next weekend.

We saw snow filled mountains, a pair of bald eagles, crystal clear water, and were lucky enough to land a few fish on a tough day of fishing for most. Justin has tons of experience and knowledge and is just a really down to earth and cool guy. It was like having a buddy of yours take you around the lake. I would highly recommend this company and especially Captain Justin if you want to see tahoe from a different perspective and catch some fish while you are at it! You can also bring your catch to Macduff's Pub and they'll cook your catch up to three different ways for $39.99 per person.

My significant other asked if there was another company that would be recommended, and that's how we found Captain Kombiz at Lake Tahoe Fishing. Captain Kombiz helped us catch a 11lb, 9lb, and 7lb Lake Mackinaw (Lake Trout) fishes. No joke! We stayed at an AirBnB place, and the next door neighbor who was also a fisherman thought we were joking. We had to show him the 3 fishes and proceeded to ask us a million questions on how Captain Kombiz was able to catch fish that size. Haha. You won't regret it! Support small businesses! ENJOY!

Caught 1 fish 5 minutes after the line dropped and had all of our fish by 9am. The sunrise was beautiful and my 15 year old son had a good time catching his first big fish. As if the experience wasn't enough, we were given the recommendation to go to MacDuffs Pub to have our fish cooked. I would HIGHLY suggest this to anyone whether or not you are a fishing person. Follow the fish with the bread pudding and make sure you get in a repeat fishing excursion.

Lake Tahoe Boat Rides is where it's at! By far the best private charter company around South Lake…read moreTahoe. After we called around all other businesses, such as this, we realized that Lake Tahoe boat rides was the most professional and upfront about their prices. Many companies didn't let me know that fuel and captain fees would be tacked on at after the ride as well as a certain gratuity. Sneaky! Once we arrived at Lake Tahoe, Boat Rides, Lindsay, the owner and everyone else was super friendly and helpful. They have a store with food/drinks, towels etc.. but they tell you in advance that you can pick it up elsewhere. They helped us carry our bags over to the perfectly clean and well maintained boat complete with our own captain who was incredible!!!!! Ask for Steve-O!!!! I do believe no matter who you get as a captain that you will have an amazing experience as we did. Steve-O was friendly and great with our 4 1/2 year-old. He provided just the right amount of history and information as we rode along and also took us to less touristy places that were also beautiful and so worth seeing. We cannot wait to come back and see Lake Tahoe boat rides next summer, and we will definitely be asking for Steve-O.

When we arrived, we were told the bears were very active, which in this area, they usually are. There are alot of signs informing the public they are in Bear Country and what to do if they come across one. There's also information on the proper way to store food, so the bears can't get to it. Unfortunately, we see the carelessness from campers all of the time. It's very frustrating, especially when you hear a bear and cub may be euthanized because they have gotten too comfortable approaching people at the campsites and could be a danger. This place is beautiful and the bears are a treasure. If you camp here, please be responsible! Aside that, we love this campground. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful.
