Chuck Celestine and his wife caught this huge 15 pound walleye tolling the face of the sand dunes. In addition to this monster they also caught a 6 pound walleye so it turned out to be a very successful fishing day.
After Googling walleye fishing in the Pacific Northwest, Bill and Beth Fluelling of Canada chose to give Potholes Reservoir and MarDon Resort a try. Here is their catch of the day.
Cooling weather this week has only helped the walleye, bass and perch bite on Potholes Reservoir. Jumbo crappie 12 inches and larger have been caught by many fishers trolling at the mouth of Crab Creek and the face of the sand dunes. Our water level continues to rise two to three inches a day. Sand dune bass fishers are beginning to report good largemouth action from the Crab Creek Area, Goose Island, and the face of O'Sullivan Dam. The Lind Coulee is also showing some nice smallmouth bass action. Blade Baits are still producing walleye limits for boaters from many different areas on Potholes Reservoir.
Opening Day of waterfowl season was a duck hunters dream on Potholes Reservoir. We had winds gusting up to 40 MPH which kept the birds on the move. All parties that enjoyed hunting with The Duck Taxi on opening day enjoyed many local ducks. For more information on duck hunting on Potholes Reservoir with The Duck Taxi please visit our website www.ducktaxi.com or call the reservation line at MarDon Resort (509) 346-2651.

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.
