Fresh news from MarDon Resort

Early spring weather has been amazing in Central Washington. With 70-degree temperatures coming to the Potholes Recreation Area we can only predict another memorable March fishing weekend. Bass fishers are reporting late day surface water temperatures in the mid-50-degree range and largemouth are providing good action later in the day when the sun has warmed in the shallows. For better largemouth action in the sand dunes, fish late in the day with a southern exposure to the sand dunes. Also, when sight fishing focus on black sand not white sand lake bottom for best early season action. Smallmouth are already providing action using crawdad diving plugs on points in the Lind Coulee Area, or try flipping jigs and drop shotting plastics. And as always try the pre-spawn bite around Goose Island and along O'Sullivan Dam for smallmouth and an occasional largemouth bass.
