Stocking: Trout Opener is the weekend of November 14-16! We will stock 2,500 pounds from Wright’s Rainbows in Idaho for the opener. The lake will be regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout from about mid November to April. In sum, we will stock 19,000 pounds of trout this season with some additional stockings from DFW. 

Get ready for trout season! Stock up on light tackle, mini jigs, and Powerbait at the bait shop. You’ll need both a valid California state fishing license and a Lake Jennings daily fishing permit. See below for a link to purchase your fishing license online. Daily limits for trout are 5 per person. Don’t forget to ring that limits bell on the dock on your way out! 

With limited shoreline at Hermit Cove and Eagle Point, we suggest fishing Cloister Cove, Cactus Patch, and along the southeastern shoreline past the t-dock. Please be aware that fishing from the boat dock and launch are strictly prohibited. 

Shoreline fishing is available from the campground Monday - Thursday where you will have access to Sentry Point, Sentry Cove, and Half Moon Cove. 

Arrive early for your best chance to catch limits!

Don’t forget to share your catch! Tag us on social media with #LakeJennings for a chance to be featured in our next report.
