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 first experience!
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 26, 20262 adults

First guided fishing trip ever & we were extremely satisfied! Connor was super chill, laid back & knowledgable! He was easy to talk to and made the afternoon extremely fun! He didn’t feel like a Host Captain, but more like someone we actually knew. I’d highly recommend booking a trip with him!

Captain Connor put me on the Kokanee up at Donner Lake first thing in the morning. Once I was a fish away from my limit he asked about changing things up and going after trout so i would be able to keep fishing.Connor is a very knowledgeable Captain with a great attitude and knows the lake very well. i cant wait for my wife to give me permission to go fish with him again!!

My wife and I went out with captain Connor and caught some salmon almost immediately. Lake trout weren't biting unfortunately, but Captain Connor made sure we were going to make some memories. Rainbow trout and kokanee were super tasty!!!

Sorry for delayed review, but we had a great time on Donner Lake with Captain Conner
Half Day Trip on May 31, 20262 adults

It was the first time fishing for Kokanee for myself and my bro, and we limited plus got a nice lake trout. It was great day to be on the water with a local guide who could give us tips on some of our planned fishing destinations for the rest of the week. We'll be booking with Conner again!

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.

Reported catch:
Sockeye Salmon
