Great friends Ernie Dorow, of Othello, and Jimmy Vigliano, of Springfield, MA, show their mallard limits from a hunt on Potholes Reservoir this Wednesday.
Fishing update for the Potholes Reservoir Area
Many fishers have been enjoying the best Perch Fishing in a very long time.
Perch are being caught in water 16 feet deep and deeper in the Lind Couleearea and near Goose Island. Reports of most Perch being caught are 8 inches or longer, which is a great sized fish for a fish fry.
Bass Fishers are continuing to have good smallmouth action on the face of O'Sullivan Dam. The Crab Creek area is producing some largemouth bass action as well.
Walleye action is still slow. As our weather gets colder the walleye fishing will only improve.
Hunting
Potholes Reservoir has been very good for duck hunting so far this season. Many mallards and some pintail and teal have been seen in large numbers on the reservoir.
If you are interested in a hunt the prices for Meseberg Adventures (The Duck Taxi) are:
$175 for a non-guided hunt, 2 person minimum.
$250 for a guided hunt, 3 person minimum.
We have many available dates open for the season, come check it out before the lake freezes over. For more information please visit our website, www.ducktaxi.com
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The fishing in the Potholes Recreation Area this October has been just as good as we thought it would be. We experienced some rapidly cooling weather which rapidly cooled the water temperatures and really turns on the fall bite. The walleye fishers are producing limits almost daily.
Fresh News from MarDon
As Potholes Reservoir cools with incoming fall weather the fishing for all species will only get better. The bass guys are having a ball with largemouth bass at the face of the dunes. Smallmouth bass are most catchable at the rock piles in the main lake between Goose Island and O'Sullivan Dam. Potholes are now at the low water status typical for this time of year. Cover is harder for fish to locate for sanctuary. (Now is when the underwater habitat restoration project is the most valuable, cwfac.org).

It's hard to believe but the already great fishing on Potholes Reservoir will just be getting better. The perch fishing at the State Park and off the MarDon Dock has been great.
