MarDon Resort fishing update for June 28
The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1039.8 feet, dropping 1.2 feet this week. The water temperature is right around 72 degrees on the main reservoir. The water temperatures in the sand dunes are in the mid-70s. Walleye fishing has picked up this week. The walleye are in 5-20 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. Fish tight to weed lines. It is an early morning bite, slowing down around 11 a.m.
