LAKE ISABELLA: Crappie have been fair with some decent catches of fish to 2 pounds, but the action is all in 10 to 25 feet of water as the lake level comes up. The shore bite is tougher than the boat action. Most of the cats are 2-4 pounds, and Kissick Cove has been particularly good. The trout remain pretty fair off the points and at the auxiliary dam. Also quite a few bass being caught and the bluegill bite is also just starting.
