Hello from your Lake Jennings!
The lake and campground had a full house over the past week as the Thanksgiving and school break celebrations took place at Lake Jennings Park. Lots of happy campers and fisherman walked around and many of them with bragging rights so let's talk fishing... There were some Bass anglers out, but the reports weren't too good. What was off the hook was the Trout Fishing. Not everyone caught limits, but what was caught was made up for in size. If you would like to stay up to date on what goes on at Lake Jennings you can sign up at LakeJennings.org for the Weekly Fish Report or select the Blog tab to read about upcoming or past events.

Prognosis: Lake Jennings will stock another 1,000 pounds of Sierra Bow Trout and we will continue to increase the trout size. As you can see from the reports the trout size has stepped up from "up to 8 pounds" to "up to 10 pounds" and later in the season we will have "up to 12 pounds" in size. NEW at Lake Jennings are the larger trout and later in the season will come "Lightning Trout" which will be our tagged fish.
