  • Stocking:  The next trout stocking of 1,500 pounds will be the week of February 22nd. The lake will be stocked bi-weekly through the week of April 19th. To view an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
  • What's the catch? Bluegill over a 1 lb. are being caught using night crawlers in Half Moon Cove. Catfish are in deeper water this time of year. Try fishing around the tower buoy line with mackerel and dip bait. Bass were biting on swimbaits, drop shot, and shiners this weekend. They were hanging out around the t-dock and Siesta Point. Bass are sluggish in cooler temps, so patience is a must! The trout were DEEP this weekend probably 20+ feet, but we had reports of bites on Powerworms, inflated nightcrawlers, and bright colored Powerbait.
  • Friday Night Fishing is back! The curfew has been lifted and the fish are waiting for you. The lake will be open 3:00 p.m. to midnight every Friday night. Take advantage of that sunset bite or try to tempt one of our big cats! Full sized lanterns required after 5:00 p.m. The lake gate will close at 10:00 p.m.
  • Fishing Line Recycling: Your fishing line is made of strong flexible plastic called monofilament. Monofilament is not biodegradable and animals can ingest it or become entangled. Additionally, boats can drive over it causing damage to engines. We have two monofilament recycling stations at Lake Jennings located at the t-dock. You can help keep monofilament out of the environment by recycling your fishing line.
  • Conditions: The current water temperature is 58 degrees. Water transparency is 51 feet. For a complete weather report in Lakeside this weekend, click HERE.
  • Campground News: Have you heard the news? The campground is open for new reservations! Tent campers are welcome too. To make a reservation, visit our reservations page.
  • We love receiving pictures from our fishermen and campers! If you have a picture to share, please send it to ranger@lakejennings.org and we may feature it in our newsletter or social media pages.
