Hello from Lake Jennings! The notables will make it seem like fishing was great but in reality it was bubkes! You either caught a big one or nothing and mostly it was nothing. The trout were caught on bait. The few cats that were caught came to mackerel. The lake rose 3 ft. last week and totally confused what the bass wanted.

Best Trout Spots: Cactus Patch and Shadow 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 in 25 to 35 ft. water.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: Margarita Mutilator 4" worms, Ikas and 7" Senkos.

Prognosis: Mt Lassen 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 Shadow Cove. Cats will be deep until we get some runoff or March, whichever comes first. Open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 5:45 AM to 5:15 PM. Prime times for both cats and bass are 5:30 AM to 9 AM and 4:30 to dark thirty.

Water Temperature: 68-70 degrees on the surface.

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

Holiday Schedule: We will be open on November 27th, Thanksgiving Day, from 5:45 a.m. ??? 5:15 p.m.

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.
