Prognosis: Lake Jennings will continue to stock trout up to 12 pounds in size. Trout will continue to spread out around the lake making them accessible from both shore and boat. Bass are expected to continue their move into rock piles and shorelines but watch for the cold front this coming weekend which may change the game. With all the larger trout this year the bass could be looking for something smaller so this may be a good time to through your smaller swimbaits. This year is very different from the past years with behaviors being very unpredictable.
