Charters on the Guiding Principal

Here at Nor-Cal Charters we want to ensure you have the most memorable fishing excursion possible. After years of Guiding and regularly going on fishing charter boats around the country, we have gathered some suggestions for making your trip as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We strongly recommend dressing in layers, due to our location in the beautiful Sierra mountains we experience a significant difference in the morning temperature and the afternoon temperature. The best way to stay warm in the morning and comfortable in the afternoon is to have at least three layers.

Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are a must on this high altitude lake. Even if the weather is calling for a cloudy day, you can still get sunburned. We provide a light snack (donuts, danishes or chips) on our boat, however if you’re a big breakfast or lunch eater we recommend bringing additional food to hold you over until you can get home and cook your fish.

Sea-sickness is rarely a problem due to our typical 3-inch waves. As always, we recommend that our clients come out fishing well-rested and feeling great!

Lastly and most importantly, bring a camera with fully charged battery (or film) to be able to show your friends how much fun you had fishing with us at Lake Tahoe.
