: Jennings Randolph Lake: Jennings Randolph Lake is known for its excellent Smallmouth Bass population, Rock Bass in abundance, and a dense, reproducing Walleye population. It also gets stocked with trout on occasion by the MD DNR in the spring which, due to a cold mid-depth layer in the lake, can be caught into the summer. Smallmouth Bass key in on crayfish that inhabit rocky habitat along the lakes perimeter. Unlike Mount Storm Lake, Jennings Randolph receives cool source water, and warmer timeframes does not negatively impact fish activity. Weighted soft plastics, crank baits, and jigs that imitate crayfish are great baits to start targeting Smallmouth Bass and Rock Bass here. If you are targeting Rock Bass, size down your baits to focus on this smaller sport fish. Minnows are abundant in this lake and are prime targets for Walleye. Live or dead minnows trolled on spinner rigs, jerk baits, silver-sided crank baits and swim baits would be excellent for targeting Walleye. Inline spinners work well for catching trout. Walleye will be more dispersed throughout the lake but will likely be feeding or suspending along rocky habitats that follow points or drop-offs along creek channels. Trolling is a particularly good method for hooking up with Walleye and Trout in this deep lake. There are two public boat launches on this lake that operate daily. The Howell Ramp on the WV side will remain open throughout the summer unless summer pool conditions allow the waters surface to drop below the ramp. The Maryland ramp is considerably long and will remain open all summer. The lakes water level is managed by the ACOE. It is certainly ideal to fish Jennings Randolph Lake with a boat, as very little shoreline access is available for public use. Reported by: West Virginia D.N.R |
