MarDon Fresh News – February 7, 2019
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1042.80 feet – 3.70 feet below full pool level. The water temperature on the Reservoir is in the mid-30s. The Potholes Reservoir is close to ice free and launches are open. You may have to break thru a short distance of ice – but it should be going away within the next several days.
The walleye fishing has been good for those braving the weather. Vertically jig or cast Blade Baits, Jigging Raps, or Whistle Pigs over humps topping out at 25 feet of water. Fish the tops of the humps down to about 45 feet.
Trout anglers are concentrating on the Medicare beach area either trolling wedding ring rigs with a worm or Needlefish. From shore - fish Power Bait or a marshmallow/egg combination.
There is still a lot of awesome bass and panfish gear available at 50% off in the discount bin!
