This past week bass fishing has been amazing for largemouth back in the sand dunes and smallmouth in the Lind Coulee arm of Potholes Reservoir.

Walleye action has been improving each week. The MarDon Dock has been fair. Kids dock fishing with swim baits, storm wild-eye jigs and Yamamoto Hula Grubs have caught some bass as small as 10 inches and up to 6 pounds.

We are also seeing a few rainbow trout and some perch as well.

We are excited for our upcoming Spring Walleye Classic this Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3. If you are interested in fishing this tournament you can sign up until 7 p.m. on Friday night, May 1, at MarDon Resort.

Or just come out and enjoy the weigh-ins each day. Fishing begins Saturday morning with flights taking off at 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. and weigh in at 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Sunday they take off at 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. and weigh in at 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. We would like to thank our sponsors of the Walleye Tournament, Walleye Dinner and Walleye Raffle.

We have a nice raffle Sunday afternoon after the final weigh in benefitting Central Washington Fish Advisory Committee (cwfac.org).

Please visit the website for more information on the non-profit.
