Hello from Lake Jennings! Most fish in the lake had lockjaw. A few nice
trout came from Cactus Patch and the Hermit Cove buoy line on crawlers.
Interestingly crawlers produced more cats than mackerel. Normal incoming
storms will boost a bite but Sunday was the worst day of the weekend. The
lake is on the rise having come up 4' in the last week. This has pulled most of
the bass off the bank into 20 to 40 ft. of water on the points.

Best Trout Spots: Cactus Patch and Hermit Cove, kind of.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 4 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Catfish Spots: The dam buoy line.

Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Off the points dropshotting Margarita Mutilator 4" worms in deeper water.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: 4" Swimbaits, Ikas and Senkos.

Notables: Sun., Ricky Nejig, 9 yrs old, Morgan Hill, 2-4 bluegill, crawdad, Eagle Point.

Prognosis: We will add another 1,000 lbs. of trout on Tuesday of this week. The best chance for trout
is from a boat around the Cactus Patch and Hermit Cove. Cats will be deep until we get some runoff
or March, whichever comes first. Open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5:45 AM to 5:15 PM.
Prime times for both cats and bass are 5:45 AM to 9 AM and 4:30 to dark thirty.

Water Temperature: 67-68 degrees.

Current Schedule: We will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5:45 a.m. ??? 5:15 p.m.

FREE Fishing Classes Open to the Public!
Lake Jennings Fishing University will hold a fishing class this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The classes
concentrate on what is working best. This week's class will talk about bait fishing for trout. Most
importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Hello from Lake Jennings! While the trout were in the spotlight they did a lousy acting job. The best actor award went to the largemouth bass and the best supporting actor was taken by the cats. None of them gave stellar performances. The trout bite was as expected with fish scattering all over the lake. The best results came from Cloister Cove but fish were caught at Eagle Point and Siesta Cove. The bass bite remains best early and late...... Read More

Hello from Lake Jennings! Trout season starts Friday. Mount Lassen will stock every week for 24 weeks thereafter. The bass seem to know that trout are on their way because a swimbaiter caught 7 on Friday. That is not to say that the Ikas and Senkos stopped catching bass. They still produced numbers but with the bright moon the bite was better in the PM. Cats continue to prowl the deeps at the buoy line. ...... Read More
