Stocking: The lake was stocked with 1,500 lbs. of trout the week of January 20th. Thanks to the Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, we received an additional 100 lbs. of trout last week! We will stock 2,000 lbs. of trout the week of February 3rd.
Kids Day! Bring your kiddo to the lake on Saturday, February 8th to fish from our fully stocked kids pond. Kids under 10 fish for free! The time of the event is 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All children must be accompanied by an adult and will be limited to one trout/child from the Kids Pond until they're all gone. Get here early!
President's Day: The lake will be open 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday, February 17th for boating, fishing, hiking, and more. Make a weekend of it and camp at Lake Jennings! We have Tipi and tent sites still available for the holiday weekend.
What's the catch? As the weather warmed up this week, it seems the trout have moved to deeper waters. You can expect this week’s trout stocking of 2000 lbs. to be in shallow waters like Siesta Cove and Hermit Cove for the weekend. Fishermen were reporting catching Bluegill from the shoreline near the cattails using nightcrawlers or vibrant colored mini jigs. Catches were more frequent late in the day. Bass seemed to be heating up this weekend with the majority of them caught in Cloister Cove this weekend on nightcrawlers and roboworms.
Conditions: The water temperature is currently 61.4 degrees. Water transparency is 45 feet. Helix Water District began drawing water on January 27th. As you take boats out, please be mindful of changing shorelines.
Attention: The floating dock (T-dock) will be closed on Friday, February 7th in preparation for Kids Day on Saturday.
