Fresh news: Near-record bluegill caught at Potholes
The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1030.4 feet – rising 1.8 feet this week. We are currently 3.9 feet above low pool. The water temperature is in the upper 50s on the main reservoir. The water temps in the sand dunes are in upper 50s to low 60s. Use extreme caution while running in the sand dunes, the face of the dunes and between Goose Island and the face of the dam. There are a lot of hazards that are just under the surface and not visible to the boater.
