Idaho Fish Report

The lake is rising slowly and is just over 10 percent capacity. Isabella was stocked this week with trout by the DFWL. The action has been fair to good for trout with Get Bent Baits, garlic scented Powerbait, spinners and pinched crawlers. The bass fishing has been best around primary lake points at depths to 35 feet. Anglers fishing the main and secondary points have had success with deep diving crankbaits, jigs, big worms, and crawdad Chasebaits. An 8-pound Bass was reported on a trout imitation swimbait. The catfish bite has remained solid on Triple S Dip Bait, chicken liver, sardines, mackerel and nightcrawlers. Crappie fishing is fair, and they are holding in deeper water around offshore structure. The best bet has been with live medium minnows and crappie jigs.
