Stocking: The lake was stocked with 1,500 pounds of trout the week of April 4th. The last stocking is this week where another 1,500 pounds of trout will go into the lake! A total of 20,000 pounds of trout was stocked this season! Stay tuned for information regarding catfish season.
What's the catch? Early morning hours were most productive as temperatures are rising. The trout bite is good as long as you go deep or find a steep drop off like the Shadow Cove shoreline. Our rangers still recommend powerbait and mini jigs. We heard the Bluegill were biting from the t-dock on pinched nightcrawlers. The catfish bite is starting to pick up. Sounds like there were at least two 10-15 pounders caught during spring break. No reports of bass, but we're sure there was some action this week. This time of year, the bass like shiners. 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.
Conditions: The aerator has been turned on for the season, so the water column will be more mixed and a consistent temperature. The surface temperature around the boat dock is 68 degrees. The sun is rising around 6:25 a.m. and setting around 7:15 p.m. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
