MarDon Fresh News – March 6, 2020
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1043.30 feet – 3.20 feet below full pool level. The water temperature on the Reservoir is in the upper 30’s to 41 degrees. The Potholes Reservoir is close ice free and launches are open. We have had several days of 60 degree plus days – overall fishing should be improving daily as the water warms and the days lengthen.
The walleye fishing has been on and off - very good one day and tough the following day. The walleye are in the early stages of pre-spawn and moving around a lot – turning on and off frequently. Vertically jig or cast Blade Baits, Jigging Raps, or Whistle Pigs over humps topping out at 25 feet of water. Trolling has been picking up fish as well. Troll a Slow Roll hook with either a crawler or a Berkley Killer Crawler with or without a Smile Blade. Troll slow - .25- .5 mph.
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. Several of the open Seep Lakes are producing some nice catches of trout.
There is still a lot of awesome bass and panfish gear available at 50% off in the discount bin!
