Potholes Trout Pens

Fishing

The first year of trout releases from net pens at Potholes Reservoir are already producing results.

About 63,000 rainbows were unleashed earlier this season from four net pens maintained by Mar Don Resort.

“They were about 11 inches long when we released them and they’re running around 14 inches now,” said resort spokesman Mike Meseberg.

The fish come from state hatcheries, where the space to hatch trout far exceeds the capacity to feed and raise them to larger sizes.
