Fishing at Potholes Reservoir

June 16, 2025
During my week-long fishing trip to Potholes Reservoir, I discovered just how special this place really is. Nestled in central Washington and formed by the O’Sullivan Dam, Potholes Reservoir is part of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. Spanning over 14,281 acres with an average depth of 18 feet and reaching a maximum depth of 142 feet, it’s a vast and dynamic body of water sitting at an elevation of 1,042 feet. The reservoir is home to an impressive variety of fish, including walleye, bass, crappie, and trout. Whether I was casting from the boat or just soaking in the scenery, every day offered something new and exciting. The combination of great fishing and the natural beauty of the area made for an unforgettable experience.

2025-06-10: Yesterday I stopped at Flower World and picked up another Celeste Fig Tree, a couple of Calla Lilies, and a few more roma tomato plants. I also picked up some soil to get everything in the ground. 

I’m trying to figure out where the new fig tree is going to go a long with the Calla Lilies That’s the task for this evening.
