Fish Trap Outfitters LLC
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.

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.

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!
Best ever fishing experience, great guy, Conner is very friendly and a great captain. Highly recommend. We caught a record once in a lifetime German Brown Trout in Donner Lake, Over 14 lbs, 32 inches long, and 18 inches round. Epic, thank you captain Connor!

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.
