Isabella lake increased this week to 43 percent of its capacity and continues to rise at a steady pace. The DFWL have a scheduled trout stock going in here next week. The last plant was two weeks ago, and the bite has been steady with Pinched crawlers, spinners, garlic scented Powerbait, and minijigs. Boaters trolling near the dam with needlefish, Tasmanian Devils and Flicker-shad have found some takers. Our contacts reported a solid catfish bite in water up to 80-feet around shad schools. The shad are still in deep water and the catfish are chewing on them. Any vibrating jigs have been working. The Bass action has been fair, and they’ve been hanging off primary lake points in deeper water and can be caught with Heddon Sonars, ice jigs and spoons. The crappie bite is fair and remain near offshore structure in 25 to 35-feet of water. The Annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby is going to be held during March 23-25, 2024.
