Waterfowl are migrating to Central-Eastern Washington daily. New Geese are being reported from Odessa to Vantage and many reports from the Moses Lake and Othello Area. Waterfowl hunting on Potholes Reservoir has been improving daily the last week. The birds in the area are very decoy responsive and there are reports of nice groups of mallards. Foggy conditions have made it more challenging but days with wind are producing ducks and an above average of geese as well.

On our Duck Taxi hunts we have been seeing both resident ducks and some new birds in the area. On field hunts we have harvested lots of Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, and a few Cackler Geese. To check out some hunting packages and specials please visit the website at www.ducktaxi.com and click on the 2013/2014 specials tab.

Walleye anglers using Blade Baits in the 12 feet to 60 feet of water are cashing in on our excellent walleye bite. Most of the Blade Bait fish are 20 inches and smaller. Walleye up to 7lbs have been reported by boaters fishing the humps off the face of the sand dunes, the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway, and the North-East side of Goose Island.

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.

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.
