My friend Brian Nielson was willing to spend part of a day’s fishing for walleye on Potholes Reservoir to help me shoot a video on “Where to Fish for Walleye on Potholes”, and we set up a trip for Thursday. I picked up Ron Buner, a fishing friend of Brian’s on the way down, and we met Brian at his place early that morning. We launched at Mar Don Resort and found the water level at Potholes about as low as I had ever seen it. The folks at Mar Don have marked a “safe area” to back your boat in with PCV pipe so it is no problem here, but you will need to take extra special care when using the other launches on the reservoir. We bounced all over the place, stopping long enough to explain where we were and why this area was a good one to look for walleye. We then spent some time trolling bottom bouncers and spinners at a couple of places. Walleye fishing was slow, but we caught a couple, and we landed a total of six different species of fish. Even if the walleye aren’t biting you can have a lot fun on Potholes.
