anyone on here fish this place? going to get a chance to fish it soon any tips would be appreciated. ill be fishing from shore, ill be happy to hook into anything. never caught a smallmouth before so that would be awesome...catching LMB will be great, and sou would trout and salmon.....dont really care much for catfish. I kind of have the plan of targeting bass and if that doesnt go well, try and target crappie, but hooking into anything would be great. I understand this place has some big fish, what pound test would you recommend to be using there?  

I wrote a article for IN-Fisherman on lake Isabella so yes I know this lake.

PM your email and I will send it to you.

I want to try carp fishing there. I've had poor luck fishing big CA reservoirs from shore in the past. Boat fishing is where it is at.
