Fishing on Potholes Reservoir is just beginning.

We have had really good fishing so far this year for walleye and perch anglers.

The spawn is in full swing which will make the fishing take off even more. The smallmouth bass fishing is starting to show off the O'Sullivan Dam with fish up to six pounds.

The water is around 50 degrees, and on a good sunny day you can find water temps close to 56 degrees in the shallows.

The walleye bite should be great from now until July. The fishers trolling are taking fish in the Crab Creek Area and the Lind Coulee.

Smiley Blades and worms on a slow death hook is the ticket for these fish, but a lot of guys are still blade bait jigging for these fish in 20 to 40 feet of water.

With the water flow opening on Crab Creek the area by the Power Lines boat launch will be great.
