This week Isabella held at 34 percent of capacity. The DFWL stocked trout here last week and the bite has been steady. Our contacts reported trout on trout jigs, garlic scented Powerbait, pinched crawlers and spoons. Boaters had some luck trolling needlefish, flicker-shad, and Thomas Bouyants. The bass bite has been fair and are holding in deeper water. Deep diving crankbaits, trout imitation swimbaits, and big worms with slower presentations have managed a few. The crappie action has slowed over the last couple weeks. They’ve been holding in deep water structure and have been going for live small/medium shiners and crappie jigs. Red Marina has been the best bet for crappie. Catfishing has been a little better with decent fish reported on frozen shad, cutbait and Triple S Dip Bait.
