MarDon Fresh News – May 1, 2020
Current status at MarDon Resort:
The Potholes Reservoir will open for fishing on Tuesday, May 5th, 2020.
The Beach House Café will be open 4:00 – 8:00pm on Tuesday – May 5th to celebrate Cinco De Mayo for take-out only! Normal hours for the Beach house will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – 4:00 – 8:00pm – take-out only until further notice.
The MarDon Resort tackle store will open Monday, May 4th – we have been working hard to get the tackle you need on the shelves! Stop by to get what you need to start catching fish from day one of this season!
Reservations: Camping/Lodging – please call the office at 509-346-2651. The office is open – but operating under limited hours Monday thru Saturday.
The current water level on the Potholes Reservoir is 1042.57 feet – which is 3.93 feet below potential full pool of 1046.50 feet – which typically occurs around the 15th of May. It appears that the Bureau is pushing water in to bring the water level up. The water temperature on the Reservoir is in the mid to upper 50’s – with some boaters reporting water temps in the low 60’s back in the sand dunes.
The walleye should be spawning now. Start by trolling a slow death rig/smile blade and half of a crawler up and around the mouth of Crab Creek. And up tighter to the face of the dunes.
The Largemouth bite will be in full swing! Big fish should be staging and should be up on beds as well. Pitch black & blue jigs/trailers on points of the dunes, cast swim jigs, have a wacky rigged Senko for sight fishing in the boat!
We will be updating the MarDon Resort Fishing Report on the MarDon Facebook page as the situation changes and as we get reports! Call the MarDon Store for the latest fishing info and to make reservations at 509-346-2651.
MarDon Resort and our waters are opening up as soon as possible and as soon as safe - we look forward to seeing you all!
