Donner lake is still fishing best in the early mornings or late evenings. Anglers can find Rainbow trout can around 20 feet in depth and macks are biting around 80-100 feet. Because of the more frequent boaters and swimmers, anglers won’t have much luck in the afternoons unless they are fishing deep water in the middle of the lake. Kastmasters, spinners, worms off the bottom, and salmon eggs are all great bait choices for anglers. The lake level at Donner lake is currently at 97% capacity.

RECOMMENDED GEAR

Off Shore: Worms off the bottom. 1/4oz Kastmasters in blue/silver, panther martin’s, rapalas
Trolling: Hoochies and dodgers in pink, rapalas, plugs, lymans or flashers and a worm
