MarDon Fresh News – February 23, 2018
The current water level on the Potholes reservoir is 1044.05
feet, slightly up from last week. The water temperature has dropped to the
mid-30’s with this current round of cold and windy weather.
Nothing to report on the fishing front this week. Between
the subfreezing temperatures, wind, and wind chill – not many anglers have been
out on the water. The Snow Geese are still here - and a neat sight to see!
Spring is around the corner – even though it may not feel
that way! Soon our weather will warm, and the Walleye will be biting, followed
by the smallmouth and then the largemouth will turn on. In 2017 we had
largemouth weighing up to 8.3 pounds weighed in at the Northwest Bass
Tournament and bass fisherman, Russ Anderson, caught a 9.0-pound largemouth
bass of the MarDon Resort dock! The crappie and bluegill fishing was
outstanding. 2018 is shaping up to be a tremendous year for fishing on the
Potholes Reservoir! The combination of the successful effort by all to convince
the WDFW to retain the correct limits on panfish, CWFAC’s fish habitat
restoration project and correct water level management will all contribute to
an amazing fishery in 2018!
Now is a great time to come visit MarDon Resort and the
Reservoir. We are still on our Winter Rate schedule – making your stay very
economical. We will also be running a Spring Break Special March 23rd
thru April 15th. Stay 2 nights get the 3rd night free!
