Fishing here at Isabella has been solid the last couple of weeks. Isabella increased this week to 72 percent of its capacity and the crappie bite is red hot. Crappie are being found in large schools within 5 to 15-feet deep along the South Fork, Paradise, and the Southside of Engineers Point. Anglers have been filling up stringers of slabs with live shiners, small swimbaits, and minijigs in white, yellow, or chartreuse. The trout bite has been excellent the last couple weeks. The DFWL stocked trout here this week. Anglers scored trout reported with chartreuse Keitechs, Hook Up Bait’s and spinners. Trollers have done very well with Flicker Shad and Tasmanian Devils. The bass seem to be spawning right now and are in shallow on their beds. Reaction baits in the in the early hours in shallow water have been enticing bites. The Catfish action is steady with cut baits, SSS Dip Bait, chicken liver and nightcrawlers.
