I practiced some social distancing by taking a trip to Potholes Reservoir on Tuesday. I met Shelby Ross at Mar Don Resort at 10 a.m. and we headed out on the reservoir. He first cruised around Goose Island looking for fish. Not seeing enough to bother with we headed over to Lind Coulee. He put out the gear in a bay below the bridge and we started trolling. We were marking some fish in here and he landed a nice one not long after we started. I wouldn’t call it hot, but we were getting bites and putting fish in the boat at a good pace, then it slowed way down. He decided to take a quick run up above the bridge and maybe find a big fish in the shallow water up there. We trolled around a while and didn’t mark anything or get a bite in shallow water, so we headed back down to where we started. A pretty good bite stared in the afternoon, and when we quit we had 10 walleye from 13 ½ to 17 ½ inches in the live well. We missed at least than many, too. He kept his speed to about 8 mph and we were in 28 to 32 feet of water. I am very eager to get back down there.
