Isabella dropped slightly to 30 percent of capacity. There are a ton of crappie scattered all over the lake near structure and they’re stacked at Red’s Marina. Anglers fishing offshore have done well with minijigs, Keitechs and live shiners. The bass bite is solid here for fish in the 1 to 2lbs range with an occasional better grade in the mix. They are starting to move out to deeper water. Bass have been coming on buzzbaits, crankbaits, Texas rigs and jigs. The bite has been better early in the morning and then fades some until late afternoon. Many areas have been producing fish in good numbers, but the top areas have been Rocky Point, the Flume and Engineer Point. The trout fishing remains decent at the North Fork and around the dam with fish reported over 3-pounds. Our contacts reported trout coming on Kastmasters, Thomas Bouyants, trout jigs and floating baits. Boaters trolling with leadcore near the Dam dragging Needlefish, Tasmanian Devils or Flicker Shad. Catfish in good numbers have been showing with frozen shad, Triple S Dip Bait, live shiners and nightcrawlers.
