This week Isabella Lake increased to 34 percent of its storage capacity and the water temps are in the 50’s. Bass are coming on 3/8 or ½ ounce football black n blue jigs and green pumpkin creature baits. Rapala black/blue clean up craws and brown/purple jigs with chigger craws are getting some quality bites. Big swimbaits have fooled a few fish as well. The areas near Rocky Point, Engineers and Piney Point have been producing. The Crappie bite has been fair to good. They have been found in 20 to 30-feet of water with live shiners and minijigs. The CDFW stocked trout here two weeks ago. Trout have come on spinners, garlic scented Powerbait, and minijigs. Trollers dragging needlefish, Tasmanian Devils and Flicker-shad near the dam have found a few trout. The annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby is scheduled for April 12, 13 and 14, 2025.
