Lake Jennings Weekly Report

Lake Jennings Staff

  • Stocking:  The next trout stocking of 1,500 lbs. is the week of March 22nd. Only three more stockings until trout season draws to a close! To date, a total of 14,500 trout have been stocked in the lake. To view an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
  • What's the catch? A 75+ pound catfish was pulled out of the southeast corner of the lake this weekend. This monster bit on good ol' mackerel! It was safely released. The bass bite continues to be consistent in the shallows. Try fishing in Cloister or Siesta Coves. Anglers are using shiners, senkos, and drop shot to reel them in. The trout are in the channels, so trolling is your best bet. If you do fish from shore try a long cast about 35-40 feet. Redears were nibbling this weekend. We had a report of a 1.5-pounder pulled out of Half Moon Cove this weekend.
  • Spring Photo Contest: This year's Spring Photo Contest theme is Life at the Lake. We welcome photos of camping, fishing, vistas, and people enjoying activities at Lake Jennings. Prizes will be awarded in youth and adult categories. The deadline for photo submission is May 31st. For more information about the Spring Photo Contest, click HERE.
