Gregory and April Boyce and Andrea and Jesiah Pipkin, of Peshastin, enjoyed a wonderful walleye trip guided by Shelby Ross of Ross Outdoor Adventures. Here they show walleye up to 24 inches. To book a walleye trip with Shelby call (509) 750-7763.
Jeff and Jerry of Seattle hadn't enjoyed fishing Potholes Reservoir for over 22 years. They heard the walleye action was great so they came back to their old fishing hole to give it another try. Trolling spinners and crawlers they found some quality walleye on the face of the sand dunes.
As we continue to enjoy magnificent weather in Central-Eastern Washington our fishers are reporting wonderful success trolling for walleye and jumbo perch (many limits).
We are already seeing limits of walleye taken with blade baits, jigging in water 8-35 feet deep. These conditions theoretically will only improve with cooler temperatures.
Bank fishing at Medicare Beach has been producing rainbow trout to 5.5 pounds using power bait. Smallmouth bass continue to be readily available along the face of O'Sullivan Dam.
With the water-level still relatively low, in its typical fall posture, the sand dunes are challenging to navigate for boaters. Largemouth bass are being caught simply fishing the points of sand dunes on the main body of Potholes Reservoir. Tom Regney, longtime customer of MarDon, had one of his best bass fishing days on the reservoir in 20 years.
He caught and released over 50 largemouth bass fishing the points off the sand dunes. The MarDon Fishing Dock has been really great for Perch Fishing all day.
The crappie have been showing early and late in the day mainly with our recent full moon.
We have had one angler catch and release a limit of walleye off the dock this week.

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.
