MarDon Resort Fresh News – April 8, 2024
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1044.05 feet – coming up .35 feet this past week.
We are currently 2.45 feet below full pool. The water temperature on the main lake is right around 50
degrees. The sand dunes are staying in the mid to upper 50s.
The Largemouth bass fishing conFnues to be very good. Fish back in the sand dunes. Throw . oz black & blue jigs, swim jigs, jerkbaits, chaMer baits, spinnerbaits, and Texas rigged plasFcs. There have been
reports 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!
