Isabella dropped slightly to 31 percent of capacity. There continues to be an excellent crappie bite here out in deeper water. Our sources have been scoring slabs over two pounds with small dagger style mini jigs, curly tails and 2-inch chartreuse Keitechs with 1/16 head. Crappie are also being fooled with drop shotting plastics and various colored sick jigs. The best action has come near Reds Marina and offshore near and around structure. Bass anglers have done well in the early morning tossing topwater, jerkbaits and flukes. Texas rigged and drop shotting worms in green pumpkin/purple in 12 to 20-feet of water have been fooling bass. The trout fishing remains excellent here at the North Fork and around the dam. Our contacts reported trout coming on Kastmasters, Thomas Bouyants, Powerbait doused in Garlic, Flicker shad and spoons. Anglers have been finding whiskerfish near Camp 9 and French Gulch with SSS Dip Bait, mackerel, and shad.
