MARDON — The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1043.8 feet, dropping 0.85 feet this week. Water temperatures are close to 70 degrees on the main reservoir. The water temps in the sand dunes are in the low to mid-70s. The walleye are in five to 20 feet right now. Fish the shallower fish in the sand dunes with jerk baits, flukes, swim baits and lipless crank baits. Fish the deeper fish with a Slow Death Hook-Smile Bade rig with a crawler and bottom bouncer. Fish the main channels back in the sand dunes, Crab Creek and the face of the dunes. The walleye fishing has been fair, but it’s improving.
