If you’re looking for the most bites, fishing in the mornings and evening is best for Donner Lake. With Father’s Day weekend approaching, expect all of the lakes and reservoirs to be heavily stocked with various fish, including Donner Lake. Rainbow trout are feeding around 20 to 30 feet in depth and macks are biting around 80 to 100 feet. Kastmasters, spinners, worms off the bottom, and salmon eggs are all great bait choices and the lake level at Donner is currently at 98% capacity.
