Hello from Your Lake Jennings: We will be open on Christmas Day and every day until Jan. 4th. Come try out your new gear. The best bet for making the frying pan stink is the trout. Bait fishermen have the edge. Shadow Cove and Sentry Point are the best bets but you need a boat. Shore anglers are hitting the concrete steps and Cactus Patch. Crawlers are what they want. Some cats have been caught in the muddier water in the backs of the coves but the buoyline is the best bet. Bass have been tough. 30 ft. of water on the points is where you'll find them?Ķ.

Best Trout Spots: Shadow Cove and Sentry Point
Best Trout Lures / Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 4 ft. leader dipped in scent and drifted down the water column using a water float.

Best Cat Spots: The backs of the coves in muddy water ( see topo ) and dam buoyline.
Best Cat Bait: Heads on shrimp have been a "secret" bait also night crawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Off the points dropshotting in 25 to 35 ft. water.
Best Bass Lures /bait: Small Senkos Roboworms in natural colors also Margarita Mutilator in 30 ft worked better than everything else.

Water Temperature: 61 to 61 degrees on surface.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. or limits under 1 hour reported.

Prognosis: Mt Lassen continues to add another 1000 lbs. of trout on Tuesday of this week. Still the best chance for trout is from a boat at Shadow Cove. Rain may move the cats into the muddy water in the backs of the coves, otherwise fish deep. Open on Christmas Day and every day until Jan. 4th., 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.

The Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will be teaching bait fishing for trout at 1 PM on Sunday.
