MarDon Resort Fresh News – February 27, 2024

The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1043.75 feet – coming up .25 feet this past

week. We are 2.75 feet below full pool. Surface temps are 36-38 degrees. The Reservoir should

warm this week with a forecast of highs in the mid to upper 40s and lows right around 32.

The main Reservoir is ice free! There is still ice back in the sand dunes. All boat launches are

free of ice and operational.

Not many anglers on the water this week due to wind. Anglers are jigging blade baits and

producing nice catches of walleye and trout. Jig in 18-35 feet of water across the face of the

sand dunes. Corral Lake is producing nice catches of trout from the bank casting Rooster Tails.

available within a few days.

There is ice from the Blythe Bay launch – parallelling the shore at about 100 yards across the

face of MarDon Resort to the corner of the dam. The dunes are still iced over. Other than that

the Reservoir is ice free, including the face of the dam, the area from the dam to Goose Island

to the dam, and from Goose Island to the face of the dunes. A lot of open water.

week. We are 3.45 feet below full pool.

We have open water on the Potholes Reservoir! The State Park boat launch is usable. The sand
dunes still have ice, as do the edges from Blythe Bay to the face of the dam coming across the
face of MarDon Resort – out about 100 yards. The main pool is ice free. Lind Coulee has
sizeable ice coverage with open spots. We have highs forecast in the mid-40s with lows above
freezing. It’s looking like we made it through winter and should have a normal to early Spring!
