Fishing the potholes is like any other lake. The fish move with the waters. Haven grown up on that lake I can tell you that fish can be had anytime of year. There has been a large decline in perch for some reason. Contrary to popular thought it is not the walleye. The Department does a walleye netting every year and checks the feed in the stomachs. perch does not appear to be the main diet for them. If it is SM Bass you are after you can plug along the dam with some deeper divers.. Shad raps work well. Winter walleye are a finiky fish. however they can be had. Jigging and Blades at slow speeds work well for them. Remeber the white eye is believed to be for low light visibility. i.e. Use Colors in dirty water. Orange Green are usually a safe bet. The warming waters will really put the LM Bass on the aggressive side. Fish the beaver huts in the dunes or explore Frenchmans for some deep holes (hint there is one very distinct one). These holes can produce all kinds of fish. Crab creek will begin to produce Some walleye very soon if it is not already.

Good luck and enjoy It will only be a few months till all the jetskis and airboats take the lake over..
