Hello from Your Lake Jennings: Happy New Year everyone. As we headed towards New Years eve there was fishing fireworks and then the bite fizzled and has been sputtering along since. I don't just mean trout. There were some nice bass and fry pan sized cats. All in the usual spots for this time of year. We are starting to see an ice jig bite with the smallest jigs also catching some crappie in 100 ft. of water. If you have a 2 rod stamp you can sit at the buoyline and catch cats on 1 side of the boat and crappie out of the other.

Best Trout Spots: Half Moon 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 dam buoyline.
Best Cat Bait: Night crawlers are out fishing mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Off the points dropshotting in 25 to 35 ft. water.
Best Bass Lures /bait: Crawdads in 30 ft worked better than everything else.

Water Temp.: 60 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. The coming week forecast is for a warming trend. So by Friday the high pressure will have been around long enough for the bite to recover. Still the best chance for trout is from a boat. Cats: fish deep. Open 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 3:30 to dark thirty.

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