FRESH NEWS: Burbot make for rare catch at Potholes

The forecast for the next 10 days shows us warming up with the highs reaching the 60s by this weekend. We have had a lot of wind once again this week, but it has been a warm wind from the south, warming the water. It won’t be long before the fish start moving. We have had a lot of wind again – not many anglers out on the water. If you venture out, use jig blade baits and 3.5-inch swim baits on a 1/4-ounce jig head for walleye, bass and trout. Jig in 18-35 feet of water across the face of the sand dunes. Corral Lake and Upper Goose Lake have been the top trout lakes. From the bank cast Rooster Tails or use PowerBait off the bottom.
