i like the way that guy netting the trout, nice catch!

[@ripptydevibes2581]

I was pleased to see that the netted, overly tired fish was left in the water. Nice fish!

[@nicholasmoen3244]

Showing the fish would have been appreciated😕🧐😷🏌️‍♂️😃

Sorry, but I am not trying to become a KZbin person. This is my job, full-time. My Facebook business page has this fish, Western Outdoor News has it way back....if you want to see the photo. @shaun.fishingguide

Does donner have freshwater krill like Tahoe does?

[@shaunrainsbarger1478]

There's no krill in either lakes. However, there's zooplankton, (tiny and in various forms-daphnia is the shrimp) and mysis shrimp (1/4-3/4 inch).

Isn't the lake shallow all through out?

230 on the west side....one cavern at 328

[@shaunrainsbarger1478]

A very small area, like a mineshaft. 230 when the lake is full, is what most people see as the deepest.

@@shaunrainsbarger1478 small area of lake is that deep? Then the rest is 200?

[@shaunrainsbarger1478]

You may as well call me, or book a trip. I'm trying to explain over text and you're not understanding.

[@karlbe8414]

And you let the fish go? Thanks! Hooked at 100 feet?

[@shaunrainsbarger1478]

We always release 10 pounders and bigger. It takes care and experience, but it's done everytime. 99 percent of the time, the boat is positioned to watch (on the graph) the fish go down
