Late December and early January have been great for ice fishing in our area. The Lind Coulee has been very popular all week with reports of some perch, walleye and burbot being caught. The MarDon Tackle Shop has fresh bait, night crawlers and maggots just in.

With open water at Medicare Beach bank fishers catching cold water rainbow up to 4 pounds have been reported. As water temperatures warm some Giant Rainbow will start showing up in that area as well.

With more geese in Central-Eastern Washington than have been seen in years it's a great time to get another hunt in before the season is over for another year.

MarDon Resort has just posted our 2014 pricelist and Calendar of Events for the year to the website. Please visit www.mardonresort.com for more information on that. With a much improved perch, crappie and blue gill fishery we have much optimism for a quality family fishing year in 2014.

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.
