When Amazon Guides Came to Fish Donner Lake

Donner Lake has that solid high country vibe with deep blue water, pines hugging the shores, and mountain peaks all around that just make you want to stay out there all day. It's the kind of spot where you troll along and the fish can surprise you anytime, whether it is a solid rainbow or one of those big lakers that live down deep. That's if you know how to find them.

Shaun Rainsbarger took out some charter guys from Acute Anglers down in the Amazon, and those fellas know fishing better than most. So when they came to fish Donner Lake, Shaun was the guy to call. They boxed three smaller lakers and four rainbows while they were trolling, then on the way back one of the monsters Shaun is known for hit and gave them a real show. Guides from jungle rivers having a great time with one of the best from California, love to see it. (Check out the video)
