Isabella lake increased this week to 52 percent of its capacity and continues to rise. The crappie action is on fire. Stringers of slabs have been reported the last couple weeks. The action slowed a little with the cold front and then picked up right where it left off. Our contacts reported excellent crappie action the past few days. Limit style fishing for these slabs in 5 to 10-feet of water throwing white minijigs and live shiners. The bass reaction bite took off this week. Our contacts reported scoring bass with 5-inch natural shad Senkos, Shakey headed smoke purple trick worms and jerkbaits. The best action has been after 10:00am and then later in the day. The trout bite continues to be very good. Shore anglers have scored trout with minijigs, garlic scented Powerbait, Pinched Crawlers, Roostertails and mousetails. Boat anglers have done well trolling leadcore followed by Flicker shad, Tasmanian Devils and Needlefish. The catfish bite improved this week on SSS Dip Bait, cut mackerel, and sardines.
