Here Annie Meseberg poses in front of a healthy duck strap full of birds. Monday we enjoyed a hunt with some close friends visiting from Alaksa, my Son, Levi, daughter, Annie, and Brian Baltzell, of Monroe. These birds fed us a delicious lunch of duck kabobs and we had some to take home to enjoy later as well.
The Potholes Recreation Area was voted by customers of the Cabella's store in ,Union Gap, as the most popular destinatin for outdoor recreation in the Pacific Northwest. With fishing, waterfowl, and coyote hunting most available there is something for every outdoors men and women. As of December 20, 2012 Potholes Reservoir is Ice free! The last several years we have lost the lake to ice so we feel very fortunate to have an open lake for recreating this season. The duck hunting on the Reservoir has been good, not always limit hunting but lots of birds in the area still to work with. Waterfowl season ends January 27, 2013 so be sure to get out and enjoy our area before its closing date. If you would like a current fishing or hunting report please call our tackle shop from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily, (509) 346-2651.
Congratulations to our friend, Ken Kernan, for his successful run for the Moses Lake Irrigation Board.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

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.
