Carol and Don came up for 2 days of Lake Trout fishing at Donner Lake, yesterday and today. Yesterday was a total skunk. Hard to believe and even harder to swallow. Those after storm, east wind days are very difficult on Donner.
 
Today though, was different, getting several nice fish and one almost 15 pounds. Thank God! What a relief!
 
They both landed their personal bests and I was pleased to be a part of the day. Thanks guys!!
 
I had to show the fish off too lol...
