Todd and Stanton Vowner-Vath enjoyed limit level walleye catch with our premier Walleye Guide Shelby Ross. The bite was so good that they were able to catch and release an additional 12 walleye before finishing a very memorable fishing trip. Call Ross Outdoor Adventures to book a trip 509-750-7763
Jo Keyser of Wenatchee used the eyeball lure with a crawler to land her 6 pound largemouth bass while fishing off the MarDon Dock.
Potholes Reservoir is beginning to rise daily, as is typical this time of year. Fish have been moving to different locations with over 2.5 more feet of water compared to what was there 10 days ago.
Perch fishing continues to produce limits. Dick Hemore, Frank Bosley, and Amos Trent ventured out in a MarDon pontoon boat and limited on quality perch up to 13 inches. They fished in 22 feet of water along the face of the sand dunes.
The MarDon Dock has been so successful that many fishers are skipping lunch to enjoy a positive crappie, perch and bass bite all day long. One lucky angler, using a hook and a worm, landed a 16 pound channel catfish while dock fishing on October 1, 2014. It's been wonderful to see fishers smiling after a day of enjoying the September weather catch perch, crappie and bluegill on Potholes Reservoir.
Walleye trolling continues to produce quality fish with some limits showing daily. Both Rapala Shad Raps and Spinner and Night Crawler set ups would be your best bet for some nice fish. Fishers choosing to use spinners and crawlers are catching as many as 9 species trolling along the face of the sand dunes.
The fall migration patterns have begun. The sand hill cranes are routinely being seen in the Frenchman Hills and the Royal Slope Area. Many other migratory birds are being seen daily in the Potholes Recreation Area and especially the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. This is a great time if you enjoy going out for a little bird watching.

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.
