Cole Kelly, from Tacoma, had good crappie action off the MarDon Dock.
Potholes Reservoir is rapidly rising allowing much better access for duck hunters and bass and walleye fishers. Walleye have remained slow but will explode very soon. One fisher reported a 12lb 8oz walleye caught boat fishing off the face of O'Sullivan Dam. Medicare Beach has been producing trout up to 4lbs for bank fishers. The Medicare Beach Area is still showing some perch in water 16 feet or deeper.
New ducks and geese are coming to the Potholes Recreation Area daily. Call MarDon Resort at (509) 346-2651 for more information on hunting or fishing. We are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

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.
Fresh News from MarDon
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.
