Dewey McGowan, of Wenatchee, Cody McGowan, of Moses Lake, and Kermit Jorgensen, of Maple Valley, enjoyed a hunt with Shelby Ross on Potholes Reservoir with some ducks and a few bonus geese.
Potholes Reservoir has been difficult for bird hunting for the first time this season. Fog has been a real issue with only 80 yards visibility or less on most days.
We now have many different field hunting options with pit blinds in corn, winter wheat, and timothy hay. If hunting out of a lay down blind is not an option for you then give us a call and let us know that you would like to hunt out of a pit for geese. Remember goose hunting is only open Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. Also, goose hunting is open the week between Christmas and New Years and the last week of the season.
Looking for something fun to do for New Year's Eve this year that is close to home? We will have a party at the Beach House at MarDon on Jan. 31, with dinner and drink specials and karaoke and fireworks. Need a place to stay within walking distance of the Beach House, call (509) 346-2651 for a cottage or room reservation.

The fishing in the Potholes Recreation Area this October has been just as good as we thought it would be. We experienced some rapidly cooling weather which rapidly cooled the water temperatures and really turns on the fall bite. The walleye fishers are producing limits almost daily.

As Potholes Reservoir cools with incoming fall weather the fishing for all species will only get better. The bass guys are having a ball with largemouth bass at the face of the dunes. Smallmouth bass are most catchable at the rock piles in the main lake between Goose Island and O'Sullivan Dam. Potholes are now at the low water status typical for this time of year. Cover is harder for fish to locate for sanctuary. (Now is when the underwater habitat restoration project is the most valuable, cwfac.org).

It's hard to believe but the already great fishing on Potholes Reservoir will just be getting better. The perch fishing at the State Park and off the MarDon Dock has been great.
