Fresh news from MarDon
Renton Resident, Martin Grote, used Powerbait off the MarDon Dock for these memorable Jumbo Rainbow Trout.
Remember April 1 is the opener for all of the lakes on the National Wildlife Refuge with the exception of Warden Lake which opens April 27. Gas motors are NOT allowed on any National Wildlife Refuge Lakes.
Most of these lakes are Trout Lakes, one area of highlight is the Hutchinson Shinner Lakes, which is a warm water species project lake. Hutchinson Lake has quality Crappie, Bluegill, and Largemouth Bass up to 7 lbs. This is a great place for learning to fly fish for warm water species with a float tube or canoe.
Rainbow action continues for bank fisherman on Potholes Reservoir using Powerbait, Pautskier's Eggs and other typical Spring Time Trout bait.
As our days and nights begin to warm we can only expect some better bass and walleye fishing but as of today it is still very slow.
On Saturday, March 30 we do host an Easter Egg Hunt at MarDon Resort. The Egg Hunt starts at 10 am sharp so we recommend arriving 15 minutes early. We have 4 different age division and a live Easter Bunny for a photo opportunity. Please park and meet in the large grass area behind the Beach House for the Egg Hunt.
