blade baits, crankbaits and tubes. Fish the rock piles around Goose Island and along the face of the dam
and up Lind Coulee.
Walleye fishing is improving. The Walleye have finished their spawn. The Walleye are in the
weeds back in the sand dunes and up Crab Creek. Troll a slow death rig with a crawler at .8-1.2
mph or cast paddle tail swim baits. Fish in 6-15 feet of water.

The Seep Lakes south of the Potholes Reservoir are fishing well for trout! Top lakes are Warden,
