The current water level is 1,042 feet on the Potholes Reservoir. The water temperature on the main lake is 34-35 degrees. The main lake remains ice free, but the dunes and the back half of Lind Coulee are still iced over.
Fishing
We’ve received several positive reports from walleye anglers this past week. Angers are picking up three to four walleye per trip on average with some getting their limit. Fish the deeper humps off the dunes and the humps just Northwest of Goose Island to Crab Creek. Blade Baits is the top producing bait. Fish the main lake humps in 35-50 feet of water. The face of the dam is still producing walleye on swimbaits and Blade Baits. Fish 20-30 feet of water next to the dam.
Hunting
The duck hunting improved a bit over this past week. We’ve had reports of good numbers of mallards coming in as well as teal. Several hunters have limited on green heads. Goose hunting in the fields has been productive. Hunters have been doing well on both honkers and smaller birds.
