Just came back from the qualifier and the grass flats down river of the snake in the middle of the river maybe 1 mile are on fire...baby bass and silver black "Pop Rs" are the ticket and when current is flowing you can spend all day with 1 pounders to 3-1/2 pound fish spanking the c$#p out of you baits!
Best top water day for me!

For Potholes:
Get back in the dunes and find clean sandy banks with any cover. Even simple stickups on a bare sand dune will hold fish. They can be real shallow now so don't be surprised. Find the beaver huts, most will be out of water, but fish the deeper water in front. There are usually sticks still spread out into the deeper water that will hold fish. An orange and brown jig with some chartreuse can be deadly. So are shallow cranks. Morning and afternoon topwater is dynamite around the rocks on the dam. Good luck.

Fish the first point on the left in Caseys Pond with Pointers on the Columbia.
