Fish Trap Outfitters are here to show you the stunning waters of Truckee, including Donner lake, Stampede Reservoir as well as Bullards Bar in yuba county. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Connor can tell you all about the local fishery.

Brown Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your fishing machine for the day is an 18½ft Striper Seaswirl that can accommodate parties of 4 adults. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Great trip and super kid friendly
Half Day Trip on June 17, 20261 adult1 child
We limited out on Kokanee salmon. Conner knows this lake in-n-out and has great “time”awareness in going for of big fish versus action. I’d really recommend the 5am start time - it’s early but you get the lake all to yourself for a few hours and a beautiful sunrise.

Great time.

My brother and I don’t get many chances to see each other, let alone go fishing. We found Captain Conner last minute and booked on last minute vacation. We had an amazing time learning from Captain Conner and catching plenty of fish. I would recommend Captain Conner to anyone that wants to have a great time catching fish.
