Amazing lake

Lake Jennings is by far my favorite lake. It is great for fishing camping and hiking. I would recommend trout fishing with mini jigs or rooster tails. The week has two sides, the public side which is only open on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays, and the private side that is only welcome to campers, I would extremely recommend for trout fishing fishing on the private side, for bass, I would fish on the public side, the bass love drop shots and crank baits. The camping spots are really nice. The biggest trail I’ve ever caught was 4 pounds, but I have almost hooked up on a 7+ pounder, the trout fishing is excellent. Not only do you can you catch them on Lures. But you can catch them on bait too, I would use power bait and worms, whichever one they like. If you’re looking to try a new trout spot I would suggest coming to Lake Jennings and camping for the weekend or week if you have time, and taking advantage of their beautiful camping spots amazing fishing and beautiful hiking trails. Thank you for reading!

We are always looking for new places and I like that this is in the shade and it’s the easiest place to get to because that means we can fish just me and him. Bass here are smart as can be never can get them to bite. They have a PHD in hook spotting. The blue fill are large, not as hard to get. Lots of sunfish. Bullfrogs and turtles as well.
