Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

Just looking for info on Potholes reseviour or and in that general area. say banks on down to the tri cities at most. We have moved our youngest out and now we have plans to be "GONE FISHIN!"

 the one spot that looks good to us is potholes but WHEN do the bass start bitting there? Whats you favorite bait?

We live down by Lewiston and have not ventured from home untill this year, and we are ready to go. we have 16' aluminum with outboard, so no rough rivers...

. So is March or April a good time to start fishing there?

FYI. Just found this site and am SO glad I did. I have the job of finding the fishing spots and when to go...also what to use for bait ... he is doing the driving! Thats ok I have no problem with that at all.

Danielle,

 

If you go in late March there should be plenty of water in the Lind Coulee arm on the very Southeast side of the lake. Smallmouth bass can be caught in there on medium diving crankbaits and jerkbaits if the weather is in the mid to upper 40's.

Just wondering if You have been there yet>? My husband wants to go but it is a 3 hour drive so IF they are biting we are going!!

Unless you are willing to put a lot of time in to learn the dunes I would stick with fishing smallmouths on the dam. Most people spend the first 3 or 4 days back in the dunes not catching anything, where the dam isn't so tough. Try a tube bait in various depths.

 

Any idea what the water temp is there now??

I believe the fishing is coming around, but next weekend is the Potholes Open so there will be over a hundred tournament boats on the water.

I thought that was the begining of may. like May 5th and 6th? Or thats what was posted on the MarDon Resort website anyway

Not sure what tourney is there the first week of May, but the open is next weekend for sure. That's when I'm showing up for it so hopefully I'm not two weeks early. The Washington state fish and wildlife website has a listing of all tournaments that is helpful.

potholes open is next weekend, but the roster is filled if you didn't get your app. in early you won't get in
