Donner Lake is fishing great. The lake was stocked recently this past week with trout. Shore anglers are still getting consistent results for rainbows between the guard rail and the west end boat ramp. Anglers should use powerbait and worms for best results. Anglers trolling for Mack’s should troll around 80-90 feet of water with j plugs, crippled herring, and large rapalas.

Donner Lake is currently at 65% capacity.
