At Donner Lake, boat anglers will find the mackinaw bite near the bottom of the inlet in 125 feet of water. For the best chances at catching macks here, drag a rapala, lyman lure, or a sierra spoon. For Kokanee anglers, there are some Kokanee holding out still with a few chrome fish being found around the 70-foot mark. For shore anglers, there’s still a decent shore bite by the boat ramp and China Cove. Power bait is the top choice for bait and kastmasters are the go-to lure. Donner Lake is at 80% capacity.
