Potholes Resevoir

Just got back from Potholes - and I know we're a Bass club, but I thought I should report that the Walleye fishing is superb.
The main lake is 42 degrees and the water level is high.
I managed to catch 9 fish total with the biggest fish being a 30 inch "eye" that weighed 8 lbs!
I was only able to keep 3 fish because the other 6 were all over 22"!
Any guesses on the technique?

Rev-Riggin"  in 35-45 ft - works in more than one place  and  on more than one type of fish.

We fished like that years ago for walleye back in WI only we rowed. I rowed. Dad fished. LOL Used flatfish behind a set up similar to the Rev Rig. Count down Rapalas also work well to.

I went over to Toronto last week on business and flew over Banks on the way over, and Moses/Potholes on the way back.  All were frozen over.  Tongue
