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 Coulee 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 Anglers using Rapala Shad-Raps are having some luck with the surface water temp hovering around 58 degrees.
  • The MarDon Fishing Dock has been great for Crappie, Perch, Bluegill and some Trout. If you are staying in the resort dock fishing is complimentary or you can stop in the store and purchase a day pass for $4.00 for kids and seniors or $7.00 for adults.

Within 25,000 acres of privately owned farmland, hunters will find a variety of crops grown including corn, wheat and others in which to roam and likely never see another hunter on the same ground.

In addition to native wildlife including pheasant, duck and goose, the Royal Hunt Club raises generously sized pheasants and releases them throughout hunting season.
