Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): Fishing has been excellent with limits for all. It's the best it has been for a long, long time. We have been trolling at 150-300 feet with silver Herring Dodger flasher blades and live minnows in a "Figure Eight" pattern. I've been fishing at Cal-Neva Point and Dollar Point.

Ellis of Carson City caught a 17-pound Mack at Dollar Point with Dodgers and a minnow at a depth of 260 feet.
