MarDon Resort Fresh News – July 06, 2022
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1040.85 feet – dropping 1.45 feet over
the past week bringing us to 5.65 feet below full pool. The water temps on the Potholes
Reservoir are in the upper 60’s. The sand dunes are warming to the mid to upper 70’s.
The overall fishing on the Potholes Reservoir is improving with the increasing water
temperatures and the massive influx of freshly hatched fry of many species.
The Seep Lakes continue to produce decent trout fishing. Fish Warden, Hampton and
Upper Goose Lake. Troll Dick Nite Spoons and flies behind flashers or still fish with
PowerBait or Marshmallows and eggs.
Trout fishing on the Potholes Reservoir has been good this week. 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.
The Bass fishing has been very good this week. There are a lot of 2–4-pound fish being
caught. Top baits: SPRO Frogs, ó oz jig with a craw trailer, a 3/8 oz. chatter bait, 5” wacky
rigged Senko, white spinnerbait and topwater baits. The rock piles between Goose Island
and the face of the dam have been producing decent smallmouth. ó oz. Norisada blade
baits, tubes, crankbaits and Senkos have been the top baits there.
Walleye fishing is still hit and miss. The fish are in the weeds feeding on fry. It can be a
hassle – but fish as close to or inside the weeds. In the sand dunes fish 4-18 feet with a
slow death rig and a 1-2 oz bottom walker and crawler on weed lines. Other anglers are
doing well throwing 1/2-ounce spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits, and swim jigs for walleye in 3-8
feet of water. Troll along and in the weeds.
Fish the sand dunes and Lind Coulee for Panfish. Look for spawning bluegill on shallow
flats in the dunes. Look for the crappies close to and in the willows. Throw Bobby Garland
Baby Shads in Monkey Milk or Blue Ice, the Fisher Brothers DS Fry in Sight Minnow color.
Use a 1/32 oz jig head on a slip bobber.
