Zack Cooper, of Moses Lake, caught this nice Bass off the rock piles on Potholes Reservoir. This fish was released.
The rainbow trout activity on Potholes Reservoir and the Seep Lakes below O'Sullivan Dam has been amazing at times this April. Bank fishers using Powerbait, Pautsker's Eggs, Coon Shrimp and the old fundamental, Night-Crawler with marshmallow have been the best luck for a great catch.
Canal, Heart, and The Windmill Lakes continue to provide good trout action. The Pillar Widgeon Lake's below Soda Lake Dam have produced rainbow to 7.5 lbs. Blythe Lake has produced rainbow to 6lbs this month so far for bank fishers using Powerbait. The only Seep Lake not open is Warden Lake, which opens April 27, 2013. Hutchinson and Shiner Lakes located on the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge remain slow for Perch, Crappie, and Largemouth Bass.
TROUT RELEASE April 13, 2013!
Free Dock Fishing from 9 a.m. to dusk. This is a great event for kids to come and catch some fish. Stop at the MarDon Store for some advice on tackle or some snacks for the day.

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.
