Hello from your Lake Jennings! The trout bite continues to be very good. Bankies are outdoing the boaters. Baiters are outdoing the lure chuckers. The bass bite is better than it should be. They are being caught in 15' to 25' and dropshotting morning dawn or margarita mutilator worms. Lots of 1 to 2 lb. cats being caught at the buoyline.

Best Trout Spots: Cactus Patch, fishing float and Shadow Cove.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Salmon peach Power Bait.

Best Catfish Spots: The dam buoyline and Hermit Cove buoyline.
Best Catfish Bait: Chicken livers, mackerel, and night crawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Target the steep banks, fish downhill with Morning Dawn or Aaron's Magic into 25 ft. of water.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: 6" worms.

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

Prognosis: Our 8th trout plant is on schedule for Thursday, December 8th. We will stock 1,000 lbs. every week for the next 16 weeks. Since the full moon did not kill our trout bite, I would expect the action to continue. Don't forget that some of the best catfishing of the year is right now!!!! Just fish deep. Information about the Sierra Bow Trout can be found at http://www.mtlassentrout.com/sierrabow.html.

Water Temperature: 63 degrees on the surface.

Current Schedule: We'll be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5:45 a.m. - 5:15p.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 trout fishing. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Hello from your Lake Jennings! We are open Thanksgiving Day at 5:45 a.m. The trout bite has finally picked up. We had limits come from the Cactus Patch, fishing float, and Shadow Cove. Short leaders and salmon peach Power Bait were the hot tickets. The limits are not fast - four hours is the quickest limit we know of. Bass have slowed down. There is still some action on the bank early and late with the fish off the bank...... Read More
