Hello from Your Lake Jennings: Fishing was so good this weekend even blind squirrels got nuts. The trout bite was excellent from Hermit Cove to Eagle Point. Long leaders, short leaders, any color Power Bait or nightcrawlers put trout in the frying pan. Male bass are bedding everywhere but the big girls are being shy. Only small ( 1 to 2 lb ) catfish are being caught at the buoyline. It is time to start exploring the shallows for those prespawn cats.

Best Trout Spots: Half Moon Cove and Cactus Patch.
Best Trout Lures / Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 2 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Cat Spots: No place.
Best Cat Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Every 15 ft. along the shore.
Best Bass Lures /bait: It is jig time using creature baits. Swimbaits have not been working

Water Temp. 62 to 63 degrees on surface.

Notables: Lots of quick trout limits by anglers who don't want the word to get out.

Prognosis: Mt. Lassen will deliver another 1000 lbs of trout on Tuesday. The flood gates are open. It will be awhile before the fishing success slows. Next up: the channel catfish.

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

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...... Read More
