The main body of Lake Tahoe does not freeze. The stored heat in the Lake's massive amount of water compared to its relative surface area prevents the Lake from reaching freezing temperature under the prevailing climatic conditions.

I forgot how deep it was.
I understand it has the record for the lake with the most unrecovered bodies on the planet though.

If they are unrecovered, how does anyone know how many there are?

Andrew,

Some vital information here:

Andrew, I live in Reno so feel free to PM me.

As other's have mentioned Tahoe is good for skiing. There is some truly great fishing out at Pyramid Lake and I've got a number of friends who fish out there regularly who would be happy to take you out, no need to do a commercial charter.

As far as bars and restaurants go the following are my suggestions:

Clary's - directly across from the Peppermill, basic food but done well and their breakfast is good.

Brick's - a couple of blocks north of the Peppermill, hunter friendly and good food.

Beaujolais Bistro - In the downtown area, excellent food.

As far as bars go the following are my suggestions:

Corrigan's - no food but good drinks and a good local crowd.

Forty Mile Saloon - good drinks and a good local crowd as well.

Chapel Tavern - probably a bit more upscale than the other two bars with a great drink menu but the chance of running into a millennial with a man bun is good. The owner is a good guy.

With a bit of notice I can take some time to set some things up for you or take you around.

By the way, Clary's, The Forty, and Corrigan's all serve Underberg.

Hi Andrew! I just moved to Reno for a new job, and we've got a guest room and a spare car. Samantha and I would be happy to be a home base for you. I'll be working most of the time, but would be freaking stoked to have you stay with us or use gear/ guns/ car/ fishing rods, etc.

I've crashed at your place, would be happy to return the favor. Let me know when we can expect you.

I don't know the area well yet, but can outfit you for fun and decent whiskey. :-)
Chris

There's a lot to do around Reno (and, BTW, Tahoe's cute 'n all, but visit Pyramid Lake and try for one of those 24" trout) but you need some local knowledge. You can hire a car and drive "The Loneliest Road in America", Highway 50 to Sand Mountain and Spencer Hot Springs. You can visit Virginia City, or go up Lagomarsino Canyon where there are great petroglyphs. And there's the Bunny Ranch!
