Lake Jennings Weekly Catch and Release

Hello from Lake Jennings! Don't forget we are open Thanksgiving Day. Catch this: big trout are being caught on deep diving crank baits like Bomber Fat A's and Shad Raps in Shadow Cove. The lake rose another 3 ft. and the bass still have their knickers in a knot over it. Cats were a little more spotty this week than last, primarily because everyone was targeting the trout.
