Currently Donner will be one of the only local stillwater options as the thin layer of ice starts to recede back and parking access opens up. The boat ramp still has a hefty amount of snow and unless it gets plowed it is still a ways from being used. This time of year shore anglers can try their luck for rainbows and the occasional mackinaw coming in shallow. Lake Level - 36% of cap.

RECOMMENDED GEAR:
Lures: Kastmasters, Rapalas, Large spoons and spinners. Bait: Floating Worms off bottom, Powerbait in chartreuse or salmon eggs
