Stocking: The last stocking of 1,000 pounds of catfish was planted last week for a total of 8,500 pounds of catfish stocked this season. The lake will continue to remain open until midnight on Friday and Saturday night through October 31st. Fall back is on Sunday - set your clocks back an hour. 

Trout Season: Trout Opener is November 20-22 where 2,500 pounds of Rainbow Trout will be stocked from Wright’s Rainbows in Idaho.

What’s the catch? Overcast skies and rain are bringing a welcome change to the fishing conditions at Lake Jennings. 

Bass: Cooler weather can create new opportunities with bass often taking advantage of lower light conditions to feed along the shoreline and around submerged structure. Try throwing shiners, swimbaits, or soft-plastic baits near points, rocky shorelines, and submerged structure. As conditions change throughout the day, adjust your presentation and explore different depths to locate active fish.

Catfish: Our last stocking was last week, but with plenty of catfish still available, fishermen should continue to find opportunities throughout the lake. Mackerel, chicken liver, and other smelly baits are great options to try. Fish near the bottom, and don't be afraid to experiment with your leader length and location until you find where the fish are holding.

Panfish: Bluegill and other panfish offer a fun option for all ages. Small hooks paired with pieces of nightcrawler or mealworms are excellent choices. Look for panfish around docks, protected coves, and shallow areas near vegetation or structure.

Tight lines, and don't forget to share your catch with us using #LakeJennings!
