-Car pooling is encouraged, COVID guidelines must be followed, details can be worked out on each individual trip.
-Fishing will be at a private lake, Jenna lake located on the Hepp property. This fishery is very scenic with great views of Longs Peak. Jenna Lake has convenient shore access as well as boat access.
-Warm water species include a good inventory of bluegills, crappies and largemouth bass, occasionally a small mouth bass. A fun lake to fish.
Fishing: Both top water and sub-surface fishing is productive at these lakes, ideal for float tubes, individual pontoon boats and other personal water craft.
-Drift boats and small boats with electric motors are allowed on Jenna Lake.
-PFD’s are required to be worn with all personal water craft (float tubes, drift boats, canoe, etc).
Suggested Flies: Top-water flies include poppers, foam body hoppers, beetles and deer-hair flies. Sub-surface flies include Jawbreakers, streamers, clousers, pine-squirrel leeches and woolly buggers.
Dave explains fishing tactics for warm water species in a float tube.
