WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS

Lake Jennings is a great destination for the serious and casual wildlife viewer or photographer. Deer, bobcats, coyotes, and raccoons can be spotted along the hillsides especially early mornings or late evenings. The variety of chaparral and aquatic habitats makes Lake Jennings a popular bird watching spot in San Diego County. Eagles frequent the lake from Fall to Spring. Here are a few photos of birds spotted at the lake!

TROUT

Trout are biting on Rainbow and Salmon Peach PowerBaits. The black/gold Hookup Bait is still the most popular tackle.

Our next trout stocking is this week with 1500 lbs.! Last week’s stocking was rescheduled to the week of Jan. 2nd. 250 lbs. of trout were stocked from DFG.

BASS

Anglers were catching bass from the T-dock and Sentry Point this weekend.
