Woodinville, Resident, Rick Ravenscroft, returned to Soda Lake after many years. He caught these awesome fish. Here Rich shows a nice Trout and a Jumbo 15 in Crappie.
Trout action has been reported from many seep lakes below O'Sullivan Dam this past week. All lakes in our area now open except for Warden Lake which opens April 27, 2013.
Water temps in the sand dunes on Potholes Reservoir have been reported to 60 degrees.
Bass fishers have reported largemouth caught and released to 6lbs 8oz in the sand dunes, small mouth bass from the rocks by Goose Island have been reported to 5lb 8ox.
Our Walleye action has begun in the Lind Coulee arm of the Potholes Reservoir. Also, the Crab Creek Channel between the power line boat launch and the Outlets of Moses Lake.
Come out for our trout release at 10 am on April 13. It is free to fish off the dock but you do still need a state fishing license and kids 12 and under need a life vest.

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.
