Fishing trip to the potholes

[chrisb]

between the fishing and coyote hunting it may rank as one of my best weekends ever.

You got to tell more of the story than that

There is a lot of good smallmouth fishing from the banks in the lakes below Potholes as well.  I have caught a bunch along the "river" on the east side of the area.  Throw panther martin spinners at them.  There are also some decent bluegills in a lot of those little ponds.  Deadman Lake has been good in the past but is a bit of a walk from the parking area.  Bobbers and worms work, my ex caught a 13 inch bluegill on a salmon egg once.

With a boat, you might get into some walleye by bottom trolling rapala type lures or leeches or worms.  I got a 10 pounder once just north of the public boat launch on the SW side of the lake.  The crappies seem to hang out around the little brushy islands.

It's been a while since I've been over there but would like to get back again sometime.  Good Luck!

There is no story... yet. I don't go until July

I'll be out there this weekend with my kids!  

For trout you can't go wrong with powerbait out there, especially Warden Lake and the other small lakes around there.

Check your "reg's" as there are Game Wardens with spotting scopes all over that place. They watched me and my son fish for hours last year fishing from our canoe. I don't know why he wasted his time, but whatever...

One of my friends was a Ranger there and I believe he is still there.  Kris Nelson is his name.  He might be able to point you to some good spots.  If you see him tell him J.B. from Super One says hi.

Will do.
