MarDon Resort Fresh News – May 3, 2022
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1043.80 feet – rising 0.95 feet over the
past week bringing us to 2.70 feet below full pool. The water temps remain in the mid-50s in
the main lake and the sand dunes are warming to the upper-50s.
Trout fishing in the Seep Lake has been very good. The Hampton Lakes are producing both
quality and quantity rainbow trout. Warden Lake has been very productive as well. Top baits
from shore and by boat are PowerBait or worms on the bottom as well as worms under a
bobber. Others had success casting or trolling Rooster Tail spinners.
The Largemouth Bass bite is back on back in the sand dunes because of the warming
temperatures. Top baits: ó oz black and blue jig with a craw trailer, a 3/8 oz. chatter bait, 5”
wacky rigged Senko and a white spinnerbait.
The rock piles between Goose Island and the face of the dam have been producing decent
smallmouth. ó oz. Norisada blade baits, tubes and Senkos have been the top baits there.
Walleye fishing is picking up on the Potholes Reservoir. A few decent reports have come in
from Lind Coulee. Fish from the island up stream above M Road. Fish 15-25 feet with a
slow death rig/ 2 oz bottom walker and crawler. Troll at .8 to 1.0 mph. Several good catches
have been reported off the face of the dam jigging tube baits and blade baits.
No reports of crappie, bluegill, or perch yet – getting close though!
