Donner Lake is fishing steady for all species. Kokanee are hanging around 50 feet, while macks are sitting deep at 120 feet and taking large plugs or spoons. Rainbows are the best bet for shore anglers, with China Cove and the west-end ramps producing on worms and PowerBait. Midday boat traffic can slow things down, but evenings pick back up nicely.
