Greg Hanes, of Warden, shows a nice bass that he caught and released fishing the face of the sand dunes.
Cool late October weather has our surface water temperatures at the mid to low 50 degree range. These cold nights are making fish action improve as warm water fish instinctively feed to build energy for the winter months.
Don't forget we have free dock fishing every Friday until Springtime. 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.
Boat fishers continue to report good walleye action using blade-baits and jig's tipped with a night crawler trolling the humps off the sand dunes. Jumbo perch up to 13 inches have been caught at the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway, the humps off the face of the sand dunes, and in the Lind Coulee arm of Potholes Reservoir. The North, Northeast side of Goose Island has been producing fewer walleye but the ones that are being caught are a very nice size.
Rainbow Trout up to 7 pounds are being caught at the east end of O'Sullivan Dam. Your best bet to catch one of these nice fish would be to use a Rapala Shad Rap.

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.
