With the water cooling the fishing for just about every species is really good. Catches of largemouth and smallmouth bass on the face of the dunes has been really great.

Throwing diving plugs in 4 to 12 feet of water works the best to catch these fish. But just about any bass method will still work for you as well.

Perch and Bluegill catches have been good of the MarDon Dock and also on the rock piles off Goose Island.

The walleye catch have been fair to good off Goose Island. Or you can try the humps across the sand dunes using #5 and #7 Rapala’s or a worm harness for these fish.

Fish for these marble eyes in 8 to 20 feet of water or where-ever you start to catch perch.

Trolling Needlefish and Dick Nights in front of the spillway and Medicare Beach has been very good for trout between 2 and 6 pounds. These fish are a blast to catch because of the good fight they put on.

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).
