Fresh News from MarDon

Walleye catching continues to be amazing for knowledgable walleye fishers.

Beginners are also finding a new level of success. Families enjoying the last of their summer are also having wonderful opportunities fishing.

We rented one of our pontoon boats last week to a family from Renton and they anchored at the mouth of Frenchman’s Waste-way for an afternoon of fishing.

They were excited to report on their return that each kiddo on the boat landed their own fish. Bass fishing during the month of September is going to be on fire.

With our comfortable daytime temperatures and cool morning and evenings it’s a perfect time of year for an early morning/late night fishing trip. For a current fishing report please call (509)346-2651 and ask for the tackle shop.

We were very happy to announce that we planted 45 habitat boxes in Potholes Reservoir on Sept. 2, 2015.

Royal Hunt Club is a great do it yourself hunting option in our area. You may purchase a pass for dove hunting for $100 or purchase the regular pheasant, duck and goose season pass for $300.

Our Royal Hunt Club President Sam Worsham has spearheaded a pheasant release program for the Hunt Club this year. 2000 pheasants are being raised in the Royal 4H Center to be released on the Royal Hunt Club land during pheasant season.

There is no extra charge for the released pheasants and the release sites are marked on the map.

No guides are allowed to participate in the Royal Hunt Club, this is open to the public other than that. For more information please call (509) 346-2651.
