MarDon Resort Fresh News – November 30, 2022
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1038.90 feet – coming up .65 feet over
the past week. The water temps on the Potholes Reservoir are in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Ice is forming on the smaller ponds and on the shallower spots back in the sand dunes.
Not too many folks out fishing this past week, but the walleye bite remains good.
For trout - Troll Wee Gee spoons, Needlefish, or #7 Flicker Shads at 2-3 miles per hour.
Fish along Medicare Beach and in front of the State Park. Troll Wedding Rings with a worm
on the face of the sand dunes for trout – and all other species. Bank fish from Medicare
Beach using PowerBait or night crawlers on the bottom with a 1/4 oz. egg weight. A 5.00”
white grub on a . oz. jig head has been catching fish as well. Cast it out – let it get to the
bottom and slowly reel it back.
No reports on largemouth this week. They are in their winter mode. Jig blade baits, tubes or
fluke style baits in 20-30 feet of water along the face of the sand dunes.The rock piles
between Goose Island and the face of the dam, and the mouth of Crab Creek are producing
some smallmouth. Fish . oz. Norisada blade baits, tubes, jigs, swimbaits, and hula grubs.
Walleye fishing remains decent. Fish the humps on the face of the sand dunes. Fish 10-30
feet with a slow death rig and a 2 oz bottom walker and crawler. Jigging is an effective
technique this time of year. Jig . ounce blade baits in silver, perch, or red patterns or jig a
3.00” Gulp Minnow on a . ounce jig head.
A few panfish are still being caught. Fish the face of the sand dunes and Lind Coulee for
Panfish. Throw Bobby Garland Baby Shads or, the Fisher Brothers DS Fry. Use a 1/32 oz
jig head under a slip bobber. Troll #5 Flicker Shads along the face and just inside the
dunes.
The duck hunting has been good this week. Mixed bags of wigeon, teal, and a few mallards
have been reported. The dunes and smaller ponds may be freezing up this coming week.
