Lake Jennings is delivering very good fishing across the board right now, but big bass stole the show last weekend. Pre-spawn females have been spotted cruising the shallows, and at least a couple of double-digit bass were caught out of Half Moon Cove on swimbaits. Now’s the time to throw something big for a pre-spawn giant. The trout bite hasn’t...

The trout bite hasn’t disappointed either. Anglers have been limiting out using Rapalas, PowerBait, and inflated nightcrawlers, but the key is finding them deep—40 to 50 feet down. The lake just got another 1,500-pound trout stocking last week, and another load is coming the week of March 3rd. With over 13,000 pounds of Idaho trout stocked so far, the bite should stay solid through April.
Night fishing lit up the catfish bite on Saturday, with fish coming in from all over the lake. One angler landed a 10-pounder from a boat using mackerel.
With over 10,000 pounds of trout stocked so far this season—and another 2,100 pounds hitting the lake last week—the bite has been very consistent as of late. Limits have been coming out of Cloister and Hermit Coves, with mini jigs and nightcrawlers doing most of the damage. Chartreuse PowerBait, especially in garlic or glitter, has also been...

Limits have been coming out of Cloister and Hermit Coves, with mini jigs and nightcrawlers doing most of the damage. Chartreuse PowerBait, especially in garlic or glitter, has also been pulling in fish.
Catfish got more active with the recent rain, with multiple fish pulled from Siesta Cove on shiners and a chunky 20-pounder landed in Shadow Cove on mackerel.
Bass action has been somewhat slow. Senkos and soft plastics are getting the most action.
