Hensley Lake Fishing Report

The warming weather and CDFW trout stock at the end of last month have lit up the big bass bite at Hensley. A 17+ pounder was reportedly nailed last week on a big trout-colored swimbait, and 4–6 pound fish have been common since. These prespawn bass are in full-on feeding mode, gorging on trout... every one of them has a full belly. Swimbaits are pulling the biggest fish, but jigs and large Texas-rigged worms are getting bit too. Water temp is perfect... in the low 60s throughout much of the lake.
