One of the places I visited when I was on one of my sweeps through the region to check on conditions was Potholes Reservoir. I saw that one boat had launched at the State Park and there was no ice near the ramp. The same was true at Blythe, and I noticed a number of walleye carcasses near the ramp here. Some one is catching some walleye on Potholes. I stopped at the tackle shop at Mar Don, and the fellow there said that yes, there are some walleye being caught. He said you shouldn’t expect to get a dozen but three or four is quite possible. Most walleye anglers are using blade baits or Jigging Rap style of jigging baits this time of year. I asked him if he had heard of trout being caught off Medicare Beach and he said that they come in for bait, but then never stop back to tell him how they did. Some weekends you will find quite a number of anglers fishing from the shore off this beach, which is on the east shore of Potholes. There is a park here, Discover Pass required, with picnic tables and restrooms. Makes it nice.
