Stocking: The last stocking of 1,000 pounds of catfish was planted the week of October 19th. The lake was stocked with 8,500 pounds of catfish this season. With fall back, the hours for boating and fishing at the lake have changed to 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday-Sunday.
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? Our final catfish stocking took place on October 22, marking the end of catfish stockings for the season. There will be holdover catfish hanging around the lake all year, so don't put those catfish rods away just yet! With the cooler water temps, catfish will be less active, so look for them to feed during the warmer times of the day. Mackerel, chicken liver, and garlic nightcrawlers are all worth trying if you're hoping to squeeze in a few more catches before turning your attention to trout. Try fishing near the buoy lines. Shadow and Siesta Cove are also productive spots.
Our lake hours have changed, but we’ll be open at least one Saturday a month for new moon fishing. Join us this Saturday, 11/7 where the lake will be open until 10:00 p.m. for boating and fishing.
Tight lines, and don't forget to share your catch with us using #LakeJennings!
Conditions: The water temperature is about 74 degrees at the surface. The aerator has been turned on and the lake draw is approximately 15 MGD. The daylight hours are shorter with the sun is rising at 6:09 a.m. and setting at 4:53 p.m.
