FISHING IN THE LAKES OF THE TAHOE REGION Fishing in Lake Tahoe, and the other lakes of the region is a pleasure and a recreation as well as an art and a science.

There are laymen, tyros, neophytes, proficients and artists.

The real fraternity has passes, catchwords, grips and signals to which outsiders seek to "catch on" in vain.
The chief native trout of Lake Tahoe is locally known as the "cut-throat," because of a brilliant dash of red on either side of the throat.

The name, however, gives no hint of the exquisite beauty of the markings of the fish, the skill required and excitement developed in catching it, and the dainty deliciousness of its flesh when properly cooked.
Owing to the wonderful adaptability of Lake Tahoe, and the lakes and brooks of the surrounding region, to fish life, several other well-known varieties have been introduced, all of which have thrived abundantly and now afford opportunity for the skill of the fisherman and delight the palate of the connoisseur.

These are the Mackinac, rainbow, eastern brook, and Loch Levin.
