MarDon Fresh News – December 01, 2017
The water level continues to rise and the water temperature is
40-43 degrees on the Potholes Reservoir. The current water level is 1039.80 - .86
feet higher than this time last week. The Reservoir is expected to rise between
.75 and 1.00 foot per week. The Reservoir is currently 6.70 feet below full
pool of 1046.50 feet.
Not much to report on the fishing side this week – not
because of the fishing – but because of the lack of fishermen. Best bet is to
blade bait the humps in 20 feet in the morning moving to 35-40 feet as the day
goes on. Fish ½ oz. blade baits in either silver or gold, or troll crawler
harnesses on a 2-oz. bottom walker. The face of the dam is producing walleye,
smallmouth and trout. Crankbaits, swimbaits, dropshot baits, and football heads
with skirted hula grubs and blade baits are the top baits on the dam.
This week has spotty for duck hunter. Some hunters did very well
while others struggled to find birds. Several 3-party limits of mallards were
brought in. Not many new birds came in.
There are opportunities for geese in the fields as well. Mostly little
birds right now, but numbers are decent. The hunting has been good when the
weather cooperates. As the temperatures begin dropping this week, more birds
should be showing up.
The Mike Porter and Wes Porter party enjoyed a limit of Geese while hunting with Levi Meseberg!
Jeffrey, Jason, and Mark Engel from San Jose, CA limited two days in row hunting Greenheads on the Duck Taxi!
