Stocking: The lake was stocked with 2,000 pounds of trout from Wright's Rainbows last week. The next stocking of 1,500 pounds is the week of December 27th bringing the total up to 7,000 pounds so far this season. Ten percent of the stock is 3+ pounds. For a complete stocking schedule, click HERE.
What's the catch? With 2,000 pounds of trout in the lake, it seemed that most anglers caught something if not their limit this weekend. Trout limits are 5 per licensed angler as stated in the CFW Sportfishing Regulations. The hot spots for trout were the shallow coves around the lake, Hermit, Siesta, Half Moon, etc. They were biting on 'crawlers, powerbait in chartreuse/yellow varieties and brown/gold HookUp baits. No reports of catfish bite this weekend, but they are out there! Wherever the trout are schooling look for bass to be nearby. Don't forget to send us pics of your catch! You can tag us @lakejennings on social media or email them to ranger@lakejennings.org.
