MarDon Resort Fresh News – March 19, 2024


 MarDon Resort Fresh News – March 19, 2024

The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1043.30 feet – dropping .30 feet this past

week. We are 3.20 feet below full pool. We have had a warm week of weather this past week!

Surface temps have warmed to the mid-40s on the main Reservoir and to the mid-50s back in

the sand dunes! The fish are waking up!


The Largemouth bass fishing has picked up as they are now making their way back into the sand

dunes. The bass fishing is fair at this point with several nice catches of Largemouth reported.

Fish mid-way back in the dunes. Throw ó oz black & blue jigs, swim jigs, jerkbaits and Texas

rigged plastics.


Walleye fishing is fair. Fish the humps in front of the sand dunes and near Perch Point. Trolling

and jigging are both producing. Troll a slow death rig at about .8 mph on a bottom bouncer or

jig ó oz blade baits in 18-28 feet of water.


Trout fishing has been fair. Troll # 7 Flicker Shads or spoons 2-3 mph. Fish Medicare Beach of

from MarDon Resort to Blythe Point. Corral Lake, Upper Goose Lake and Long Lake have been

producing trout. Use Rooster Tails or PowerBait from shore or troll Wedding Rings from a boat.

No reports of perch, crappie, bluegill or Smallmouth bass coming in yet – but it won’t be long!


Call the MarDon Resort tackle store for current conditions and fishing information at
