My son Josh and one of his fishing buddies Levi decided to beat out the storm Monday afternoon hitting Calif getting over Donner Summit before chain controls take effect. Anybody that knows the Summit like I do is no place to be when a winter storm hits. I have rerouted to Lake Tahoe from Truckee when I-80 Donner Summit closed due to heavy storms & accidents.
Josh & Levi got on the water that next morning Tuesday starting out with a light wind. The storm that was looming over the Sierras was approaching which started churning swells. That day ended in a bust before they could get started. They knew to stay close to the launch facility for a fast exit. Wednesday morning, they launched with some chop on the water, winds settled down as morning progressed. It didn't take long for the Lahontan's come to play. They caught some really beautiful looking cutts. Here is some pics he supplied. I wouldn't mind if Utah would intro these brutes to some of our waters.
