Alainagh Hendrix has been fishing Potholes Reservoir her entire life. She has worked at MarDon Resort for a few years during the summer while earning her college degree from Central Washington University. Here she is enjoying a relaxing evening fishing off the MarDon Dock and catching a few Perch.
Julie Krysiak of Bonney Lake caught these Perch and Smallmouth Bass fishing around Goose Island over the weekend.
As we approach mid-August fishing on Potholes Reservoir continues to amaze our guests. Rainbow fishing has been exciting both for bank fishing and trolling. Many rainbow trout over 20 inches are being reported from Medicare Beach and at the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway where it enters the reservoir at Potholes State Park. Perch fishing is the best we have seen in two decades and our crappie population has shown a positive increase. Fishers are reporting many more yellow bullhead, brown bullhead, and channel catfish than over family has seen in our 40 years at MarDon Resort. Goose Island has been the best action for walleye again this week. Call the MarDon Tackle Shop for a current fishing report (509) 346-2651

Waterfowl hunting continues to be tough with stagnant air which builds fog. Additionally, with our unseasonably warm weather temperatures every pond or secret hole is now completely free of ice with mostly open water. These conditions are perfect to jump shoot Northern Mallards and lazy Canadian Honkers. Central Washington is covered with waterfowl from the North. As soon as our temperatures drop below freezing around the clock and we get a little wind, the big water will harbor vast numbers of quality ducks and geese.
