Fresh news from MarDon
Alainagh Hendrix has been fishing Potholes Reservoir her entire life. She has worked at MarDon Resort for a few years during the summer while earning her college degree from Central Washington University. Here she is enjoying a relaxing evening fishing off the MarDon Dock and catching a few Perch.
Julie Krysiak of Bonney Lake caught these Perch and Smallmouth Bass fishing around Goose Island over the weekend.
As we approach mid-August fishing on Potholes Reservoir continues to amaze our guests. Rainbow fishing has been exciting both for bank fishing and trolling. Many rainbow trout over 20 inches are being reported from Medicare Beach and at the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway where it enters the reservoir at Potholes State Park. Perch fishing is the best we have seen in two decades and our crappie population has shown a positive increase. Fishers are reporting many more yellow bullhead, brown bullhead, and channel catfish than over family has seen in our 40 years at MarDon Resort. Goose Island has been the best action for walleye again this week. Call the MarDon Tackle Shop for a current fishing report (509) 346-2651
