With temperatures hovering around zero to -10 degrees Ice Fishing is back in full swing in the Lind Coulee arm of Potholes Reservoir. Yellow perch, some walleye, and a few burbot are being reported using Swedish Pimple's tipped with a maggot, night crawler, or perch meat. Some of the ice is greater than 8 inches thick and some is less than 5 inches thick. Follow the established trails to maintain a safe ice thickness. Many seep lakes below O'Sullivan Dam have safe ice. We have Swedish Pimples, jigs, plus night crawlers and maggots in stock at the MarDon Tackle Shop. The Tackle Shop is open Thursday-Monday 9am-6pm (closed on Tuesday and Wednesday).

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.
