Hello from your Lake Jennings!
The Trout bite continues all over the lake with several Sierra Bow and Lightning Trout caught. We also had three Blind Bogey winners who all walked away with a big smile as they carried their prizes. We have done our last Trout Stocking, but the inventory is high. If you haven't caught your Trophy there is still time, and now the lake will be open every day from April 4th to April 20th. We will continue to give out "Tagged Trout" and "Bling Bogey" prizes thanks to our sponsor support. Check your trout for a tag and if you don't see one you still have a chance to win.


Weigh your trout at the Bait & Tackle shop for a "Blind Bogey" prize by having one of the preselected weights. We have great prizes to give away from the following sponsors:

Lakeside Bait & Tackle (Gift Certificates and Tackle)
Pure Fishing (Parent company of Berkley, Fenwick Rods and Shakespeare Rods-Provided Fishing Rods, Bait & Tackle)
Bass Brigade (Shirts, Hats, Stickers)
Optimum Baits (Tackle)
AAs Plastics (Tackle)
Lake Jennings Campground (Fishing Permits, 2-Night Stay at Campground and Full Day Motor Boat use)


More bass are showing up along the shoreline and the timing couldn't be better with the lake being open every day for "Spring Break." The lake is full, so you can choose to work the shoreline by foot, launch your own boat or rent one of ours. Rentals are going quickly so arrive early as they are first come first serve. A few words of "Thanks" goes out to all those who participated in the Lake Jennings Annual Month of March Photo Contest, winners to be announced so stay posted.


Thank you to everyone who dropped by the Lake Jennings Booth at the Fred Hall Show and in addition to visiting the booth we had a big hit on sign-ups for the Lake Jennings weekly "Fishermen's News" and we received tons of compliments on lake and campground operations. What a positive weekend so thank you all for your support. Sign up today at www.LakeJennings.org for the weekly "Fishermen's News."
