Ray Stephens, of Pullman, caught this Lind Coulee Walleye trolling a double whammy with crawler with a 1 1 /2 ounce bottom walker. This walleye was 28 inches long.
The water level on Potholes Reservoir is dropping daily.
This not only creates more overnight camping options in the sand dunes it also makes improved bass and walleye catching. As our water level lowers channels throughout the 18,000 square acres that comprise the sand dunes become more easily identified.
Serious walleye anglers continue to learn to locate the sandy bottom of primary channels in the dunes. Then troll worm harnesses with crawlers or a slow death system with crawlers on the edge of the mud bottom channels next to primary weed lines where walleye wait to ambush their dinners. Many bass fishers are enjoying 40 fish catch and release fishing trips along these same channels.
The Bass Anglers focus on beaver huts, sub-merged wood or their own secret holes on or near primary channels. Spinner Baits are producing great bass action along with many types of plastic baits especially Yamamoto Senkos, Plastic Grubs and Lizards. Don't ignore a great top water bite with Rebel Pop R's, Buzz Baits and Plastic Floating Frogs especially the Spro Bronze eye Popper Frogs.
Crawdading is in full swing and at the MarDon Resort Tackle Shop we have 3 types of crawdad traps available. These traps are ranging from $15 to $60 in cost so they can fit into any budget.
The MarDon Tackle shop has lots of great items for a last minute fathers day present. Anything from clothing to a large selection of tackle.

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.
