This week Isabella Lake dropped to 86 percent of capacity. Trout continue to be the hot ticket here with reports of fish to 5 pounds coming on the troll. Anglers have been scoring trout trolling Flicker shad, Rapalas and Tasmanian Devils from leadcore down deep. Our contacts reported excellent action by the Dam and North Fork. Anglers throwing spinners, Kastmasters, Thomas Bouyants have been scoring limits. We had good reports of limit style fishing from the North Fork area near old cemetery. There was a Bass tournament last Saturday and the results were grim with only a few fish brought in for weighing. The Bass still appear to be scattered around the lake and at different depths. The crappie bite improved this week with good reports from our contacts. Crappie were found deep near structure in 20-feet of water. Our contacts reported steady action with live shiners and minijigs. The South Fork continues to be your best option for scoring slabs. Whiskerfish action has been solid here the last few weeks. Anglers have reported good action with Triple S Dip Bait, shad, and mackerel.
