Potholes Reservoir is ALIVE with fish catching opportunities. Bank Fishing the Lind Coulee arm of Potholes Reservoir for perch, crappie, bluegill, bass and early morning or late in the day walleye action is really turning on. Trolling for rainbow trout, many of which are over 20 inches, is hot right now fishing off Medicare Beach and at the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway or you can give the east end of O'Sullivan Dam at try.
Bass action for smallmouth has been very active on the face of O'Sullivan Dam with not only top water but also many types of plastics from grubs to plastic lizards. Largemouth just under 7 pounds have been reported from catch and release bass anglers fishing the Sand Dunes on Potholes Reservoir.
The water level is perfect right now for trolling rapala shad raps for walleye and jumbo yellow perch. All along the face of the sand dunes and at the mouth of crab creek where it enters the main body of Potholes Reservoir has also produced walleye up to 29". These marble eyes are very well feed with another excellent spawn of prey fish in the reservoir.
The MarDon Fishing Dock has produced many great memories for families on a fun day of fishing. When you are an overnight guest you receive complimentary dock pass or you can come in and purchase a day pass in the MarDon Tackle Shop. The price for an adult dock pass is $7 or for kids or senior's the price is $4 a day.
