Hello from Your Lake Jennings: " Wind from the East fish bite least. Wind from the West fish bite best." Isn't it funny how some sayings are based in fact. When you factor in the full moon it is no wonder a lot of anglers went home with empty stringers. As always a few trout limits came in. The concrete steps, the flat west of Eagle Point and Shadow Cove had those bragging rights. Overall there was little to brag about.

Best Trout Spots: Shadow Cove and the west side of Eagle Point.
Best Trout Lures / Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 2 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: Nick Weiss, Lake Morena, 3-13 rainbow, Shadow Cove, inflated crawler.

Prognosis: Mt Lassen continues to add another 1000 lbs. of trout on Tuesday of this week. Like last week the coming week forecast is for a warming trend. Add a waning moon and warming waters may even get the bass into that prespawn mood. 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.
