All we need is some wind rain and snow and field hunting for geese will improve for all skill levels of field hunters. The many waterfowl refuges in Central Washington are holding big numbers of ducks and geese but without weather birds are inconsistent where and when they fly. Duck and goose hunting ends the last Sunday in January of 2014. Potholes Reservoir has some open water but the Sand Dune area and most of the Lind Coulee Arm are encroached upon by ice. All we need is a Chinook-wind to blow out the ice and that would result in an excellent January for hunting ducks.

Don't forget we have free dock fishing every Friday until Spring-time. You still have to come into the store and get your free dock pass and car pass and you can fish until dark every Friday evening. The dock is still showing some nice Crappie, Perch, Bluegill, Trout and Bass and a few walleye are being reported.

Please call the MarDon Store for more information (509) 346-2651.

The paper coffee cup was standing on the snow-covered road as if the owner had opened the door and set it in place. This piece of litter was not thrown, helter-skelter, out of a window. This was an intentional act, no doubt.

Yo-Yos were important toys in the 1950s

When was the last time you worked a yo-yo? They were important toys in the 1950s, with both boys and girls learning and mastering as many tricks as possible. Moses Lake even had a city championship as did Washington State. Read on.

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.
