Trout fishing at Lake Jennings is hit & miss right now

Helix Ranger

Hello from your Lake Jennings! It will be good for a couple of days and then poor for a couple of days. The bass continue to be tough. They are hanging in 40 to 60 ft. of water. Best strategy: Fish uphill with crawdad imitations. The few fishing for cats are still getting 'em at the buoyline.

Best Catfish Spots: Anywhere along the dam buoyline
Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel and chicken livers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: 40 to 50 ft. of water on the points
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Ikas, Orange Crush worms or creature baits
Best Trout Spots: Hermit Cove at the concrete steps and Cactus Patch in 50 ft of water.
Best Trout Bait: The bait that catches the most trout is a 3 way tie: Salmon peach, rainbow Power Bait and crawlers.

Prognosis: We will stock another 1000 lbs. of Sierra 'Bows on Thursday Jan. 10th 2013. The water temp is 59 and is ideal for active trout. If you want bass fish throw a swimbait. You'll get 1 or 2 or none. The ones you do catch will be larger than average...Don't stop fishing for cats because the water is cold. Just fish deep!

Water Temperature: 60 degrees on surface.
