Stocking: The lake will be stocked with 1,500 pounds of trout from Wright's Rainbows this week! Ten percent of the stock is 3+ pounds. For a complete stocking schedule, click HERE.
What's the catch? Some large bluegill were pulled out of Half Moon Cove and off of the t-dock this past week. Fishermen reported they were biting on wax worms and nightcrawlers. The catfish have been active as of late. Look for them near the south shore off of big rock and Hermit Cove. They're biting on nightcrawlers. The last trout stock of 2,000 pounds yielded limits for many! Powerbait and mini jigs are still the "go to" for bites. 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.
