MarDon Fresh News – January 25, 2019
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1041.76 feet – rising .28 feet over the past two weeks. The water temperature on the Reservoir is in the low to mid-30s. The Potholes Reservoir is ice free and we have highs in the mid to low 40’s with lows in upper 20’s forecast for the next 10 days.
The walleye fishing remains good. Vertically jig or cast Blade Baits over humps topping out at 18-25 feet of water. Fish the tops of the humps down to about 40 feet. Several Burbot have been caught by folks jigging for walleye and using bait on the bottom in 25-35 feet of water.
Trout anglers are concentrating on the Medicare beach area either trolling wedding ring rigs with a worm or Needlefish. From shore - fish Power Bait or a marshmallow/egg combination.
Ducks remain in the area – but the mild weather continues to make the hunting unpredictable and the birds are smart. The warm temperatures and lack of ice is making it difficult to pattern the birds. We have had several reports of good jump-shooting along the waste-ways for Mallards. Goose hunting continues to be very productive – with several Snow Geese being taken!
Bill Hosko - 85 years young - of Ellensburg shot this 10lb. giant honker to finish out a goose limit! Bill's group has limited the past 16 hunts! His hunts were guided by Levi Meseberg of MarDon Resort.
