FRESH NEWS: Potholes ice mostly gone and fishing is ready to resume

The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1,043.25 feet, coming up 0.2 feet this past week. We are 3.25 feet below full pool. The reservoir has opened up drastically since last week! Usable launches are Blythe Bay, State Park and Glen Williams as well as the Road M launch. MarDon Resort’s launch should be available within a few days. There is ice from the Blythe Bay launch paralleling the shore at about 100 yards across the face of MarDon Resort to the corner of the dam. The dunes are still iced over. Other than that the reservoir is ice-free, including the face of the dam, the area from the dam to Goose Island to the dam and from Goose Island to the face of the dunes. A lot of open water.
