Lake Theodore

Lake Tahoe is a place that enchants with its natural beauty and tranquility. My visit there left the most vivid impressions. The clear water of the lake, surrounded by majestic mountains and coniferous forests, gives the impression of an almost unreal, fairy-tale atmosphere.One of the most pleasant moments was the fact that here everyone can find something to do. In summer, you can swim, kayak, windsurf or simply enjoy a beach vacation on the shore. Hikers can explore the many trails that offer breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding area. In the winter, however, Tahoe becomes a skier's and snowboarder's paradise, offering excellent conditions at nearby resorts.Stunning views of the lake at sunrise and sunset are a treat not to be missed. And when you add to that the cozy cafes and restaurants that offer local food and drinks, the visit becomes even more enjoyable.Lake Tahoe is a place you want to return to again and again to enjoy nature and relax from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We have come here a handful of times now for fishing. Not only do we always have a blast, but it is absolutely gorgeous here. We haven't been here at sunrise, but the sunsets and stars are so beautiful... you can't help but slowly walk out when it is time to go. Lake Theodore is right off the road and not too hard to spot the entrance. For parking, you can park on the side of the road, right up to the entrance. There is a park & route below about 50 yards away, but that's quite a walk. You do go through a swirly gate and down a path, and there is a trail that leads to the back of the lake. There are spots you need to really pay attention to because of rocks and tree roots. Some trees are growing into the path. There is also some scat along the way, but hey! It's nature. What else do you expect! I have yet to take the path all the way around the small lake, but I have gotten halfway. It's easy to get stuck casting in spots because you'll see some big fish swimming by, or we start catching. In this small lake, you can expect to catch big mouth bass, small mouth bass, lots of blue gill, green sun fish, and a few extras swimming around. For us, the most popular bait we use is the natural big earth worms and night crawlers. For the big mouth bass, the seenkos are pretty popular... 3"-4" long (and we use the watermelon ones). I do like to head back to the front before it gets dark. You can see random spiders building their webs as the sun starts to set and heaven forbid I walk through those trees and go through a web and end up with a creepy crawly! I love bugs and fishing... but a random bug will make me shriek bloody murder, lol! When the sun goes down(on my side of town), there are so many stars to look at. Planes mostly fly over from the backside of the lake and those are fun to watch, too. I think we sat one night until 11pm casting and watching the stars. It was nice the moon was not out this particular night because it made it nice and dark and the stars shined so bright... As precautions, I suggest bringing bug spray and sun block. Bring some small collapsible chairs. Stock up on some water or whatever you drink. I easily spend 4+ hours at a time here admiring the beauty of nature. For those of you that know... tight lines!

I drove here today with a friend. We did not mean to come here...just found it by accident.It is located off his 80 a little above Auburn ca.As you drive up...there is a small parking area. You cannot drive in...there is a gate...so you park on the outside and walk in.There is a dirt path you can walk or ride a bike.By the water you will find places to put a chair and fish.This is a small lake. It is not for boating...or swimming.. There is a sign that clearly states no boats. It is so beautiful here. Peaceful. It would be a great place for lunch or just to sit for a while. I saw some ducks...and birds but no other wild life.It would be a nice place to walk your dogs. Don't wear new shoes...lots of red dirt.
