Lake Jennings Staff
Stocking: Another 1,500 pounds of Rainbow Trout was stocked this week from Wrights Rainbows. CADFW dropped 600 pounds of trout last week as well. Our next planned stocking is the week of Feb. 12th. We will continue to stock Rainbow Trout through April. The total stock this season will be 19,000 pounds from Wrights Rainbows.
Lake Updates: There has been a new orange buoy line (photo above) installed on the western side of Half Moon Cove to protect the new inlet piping that was installed late last year. No fishing inside the buoy line or anchoring to the new floats will be permitted. Don’t worry though! The eastern side of the cove (catfish city!) is still fully accessible.
Superbowl Sunday, February 8th is right around the corner. Whether you love football or care less, joining us that day will get you a free boat launch! If you are boat-less, don’t fret! We have rentals for you and any rentals that day come with a coupon for $5 off a future rental!
We got a delivery of brand new owl boxes this weekend that will be installed in the coming weeks! They were completed by Scout Aaron as his Eagle Scout project and our owl friends at the lake will be very happy to have some new homes!
What’s the Catch?
The bass are biting! Even being caught while trolling for trout and staff are hearing from fishermen that they can see the big ones moving to the shallows for pre-spawn.
Atomic teasers were a hot choice for trout last weekend particularly in the grasshopper color and we had reports of catfish that were caught by surprise on salmon peach powerbait while their owners were soaking it for trout.
Don’t forget to share your catch! Tag us on social media with #LakeJennings for a chance to be featured in our next report.
Conditions: The weather is gorgeous this week and looks perfect through the weekend too-perfect for camping! The current water temperature is 64 degrees.With the solstice, the days are getting longer! The sun is rising at 6:43 a.m. and setting at 5:19 p.m. The next new moon will be February 17th. When we spring forward in March look for lake staying open later!
