Lake Jennings Weekly Catch and Release February 17, 2009

Hello from Lake Jennings! The good trout bite got better. Lots of limits on both crawlers and Gulp. The key was short leaders 2 ft. or less. Trolling deep in 30 ft. of water is also producing trout with Rapalas and Kastmasters. The bass are finally starting to chew. Dropshotting 4" worms uphill which means the bankies are doing better than the boaters. The big girls still have lockjaw. Cats are biting very well at the buoyline after 2 PM. They should be biting back in Hermit Cove in the muddy water but nobody is fishing them.

Best Trout Spots: Shadow and Half Moon Cove and Cactus Patch.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 2 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Catfish Spots: The dam buoyline and anywhere there is muddy water in the coves.

Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Off the points dropshotting in 25 to 35 ft. water. The weekend should find the bass on the south facing banks in the afternoons.

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: Mt. Lassen will deliver another 1000 lbs. of trout on Tuesday. The weather will remain unsettled until midweek. So it should remain good for the cats and trout. The bass may very well bust loose with the warming water this weekend.

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.

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.

For Immediate Catch and Release Hello from Your Lake Jennings: There was a big improvement in the trout dept. Boaters in Half Moon and Shadow Coves caught limits and Sunday morning Eagle Point on the Eagle Cove side also produced lots of limits. Big bass are being seen in 15 to 20 ft of water in the afternoons but they must be eating super glue because their mouths are shut tight. The rains have muddied the water in the...... Read More
