MarDon Fresh News – March 8, 2019
While winter is slow to give up its grip on the area this year, spring is right around the corner! The Central Washington Fish Advisory Committee has been busy building fish habitat boxes this winter and they will be placed in the Potholes Reservoir once it is free of ice. The MarDon Resort tackle store has been getting ready for the coming season – lots of new tackle arriving! We anticipate that the fishing will be outstanding this year based on the past two years.
The Sandhill Cranes will be arriving over the next several weeks. Take some time to drive thru the Columbia Basin Wildlife Refuge and surrounding fields to view these awesome birds as they pass through our area on their way to Southern Alaska. The Sandhill Crane festival is based out of Othello and will be held March 22, 23 & 24 of 2019.
There are a number of anglers ice fishing the Potholes Reservoir and the year around Seep Lakes. Reports of trout, a few perch and walleye are being caught in the Lind Coulee arm of the Reservoir. Make sure to check the regulations before fishing as many of the Seep Lakes have changed from a March 1 or April 1 opener to the 4thSaturday in April.
New CWFAC fish habitat boxes ready to be placed in the Potholes Reservoir as soon as it is ice-free!
Spring is right around the corner - hard to tell by the iced-in MarDon dock!
