Potholes Reservoir provides an opportunity during September to enjoy a great family fishing trip. Bank fishers and boat fishers are catching Jumbo Perch and Crappie with Bluegill up to 9 inches. We are enjoying simply cool nights and pleasantly warm days so far in September. Due to the colder night time temperatures the Walleye are starting their fall feeding frenzy.
Bass anglers are reporting many smallmouth catches in the Lind Coulee arm of Potholes Reservoir. They are also catching some smallmouth between Goose Island and O'Sullivan Dam. The Largemouth are showing at the face of the sand dunes and in the Crab Creek Channel. As always when boating the sand dunes this time of year use extreme caution.

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.
