Isabella lake increased this week to 48 percent of its capacity and continues to slowly rise. Our contacts reported excellent crappie action the past few days. Limit style fishing for these slabs in 5 to 10-feet of water throwing white minijigs and live shiners. The trout bite continues to be very good. Shore anglers have scored trout with minijigs, various Powerbait offerings, Pinched Crawlers, Roostertails and mousetails. Boat anglers have done well trolling leadcore followed by Flicker shad, Tasmanian Devils and Needlefish. The Bass bite is starting to improve. Bass have been coming on Shakey heads and Senkos near trees. Anglers have also been finding them deeper off main points with big worms, deep diving crankbaits, trout imitation swimbaits, and crawdad imitation baits. The catfish bite improved this week on SSS Dip Bait, cut mackerel, and sardines.
