Hello from Lake Jennings! The big question is: Why aren't the bass moving up into the shallows? The water is 60 to 61. The days are sunny and it is the beginning of February! There has been a very good afternoon cat bite at the buoyline but if you fish before 2 PM make sure you bring either a pillow or a book because not much happens before then. The trout are close to the bottom. The key is leaders that are 2ft. or less.

Best Trout Spots: Shadow and Half Moon Coves and the concrete steps.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 2 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Catfish Spots: The dam buoyline.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Off the points drop-shotting in 25 to 35 ft. of water.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: It is jig time using creature baits. Swimbaits have not been working.

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

Prognosis: An incoming low pressure system may put a damper on the fishing regardless of this week's trout plant from Mt. Lassen. The slow trout fishing in previous weeks should build the inventory that will eventually bust loose. Will it be this week?

Water Temperature: 60 to 61 degrees on the surface.

Current Schedule: We will be open daily this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. ??? 6:00 p.m. We will also be open Monday, February 16th from 6:00 a.m. ??? 6:00 p.m. for President's Day.

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 Your Lake Jennings: The bite continues to be lackluster for all species. In fact we are starting a vaccination program for our fish to eliminate lockjaw. The bass should be moving uphill. The cats should not be too far behind as evidenced by 1 being caught under the bird trees. The trout are really moving around. One week it is Cactus Patch and then next week they are in Shadow Cove or off of Sentry Point. Best Trout...... Read More
