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.

The first complete weekend in March looks to be beautiful with the sun shining and temperatures into the low 60's. If you are having a little cabin fever this will be a great weekend to get out and go for a drive or maybe do a little fishing. The seep lakes below O'Sullivan Dam can be a great place to spend a day, whether you are fishing, hiking or birdwatching just get outside and enjoy the fresh spring air. The Potholes Canal is officially open! This will create some good fishing activity in Soda Lake, Long Lake and Crescent Lake for early Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye.
