Fall patterns have reached the Potholes Recreation Area. On October 3, 2012 our night time low temperatures have been hovering around 40 degrees. With cooling water a new level of catching action has started. Casting or trolling crank baits has been producing good action for fishers.
Our perch action continues to provide some fine dinners and enjoyable active fishing. Medicare Beach, Lind Coulee and the walleye humps off the face of the sand dunes are producing limits of perch over 8 inches long.
The MarDon Fishing Dock continues to show some crappie, perch, blue gill, small-mouth bass and trout but very few walleye.
Get out and enjoy some fishing with friends or family while our nice weather holds up.

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.

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.
