MarDon Resort Fresh News – April 2, 2024


The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1043.70 feet – coming up .50 feet this past week.

We are currently 2.80 feet below full pool. The water temperature on the main lake is right around 50

degrees. The sand dunes are reaching the mid to upper 50s.


The Largemouth bass fishing conHnues to been very good. Fish back in the sand dunes. Throw . oz black& blue jigs, swim jigs, jerkbaits, chaOer baits, spinnerbaits, and Texas rigged plasHcs. There have beenreports of bass on beds.


Smallmouth bass are being caught. Fish 18-30 feet using drop shot rigs, blade baits and tubes. Fish the

rock piles around Goose Island and along the face of the dam.


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. The walleye are about to spawn. This will push many

of the fish into the channels in the dunes.


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 and bluegill - but it won’t be long!
