DONNER: Lake is at 67% capacity. It's been over a month now since this lake has seen a stock of catchable Rainbows so you're going to have to be patient. Some boaters have been having success catching Macks around the China Cove area in about 65-90 feet of water with Rainbow and Koke imitations. Jigging has also been taking some nice Macks also when they've been holding deep. Kokanee is fishing is good as trolling at about 25-35 feet down is now the method with dodgers in Gold, Silver, or variations of the same with Pink, Orange, or Green followed by Pink, Orange, and Chartreuse spinners, wedding rings, Scorpions, Hoochies, Kokanuts, and Tubes with Pink being the hottest color. Kokes are coming in a bit larger now at 13-14 inches now. Best fishing for these landlocked salmon has been between Loch Leven and the Handicap fishing pier. (530) 587-4844
