Fresh News from Mardon

Why wait for the April 1 opener when limits are being caught right now? As recent as yesterday limits of nice rainbows have been coming out of the Seep Lakes. The weather in early March always seems to be irregular but the trout fishing this time of year can be excellent. This spring a number of the year-round Seep Lakes have been kicking out quality trout, most notably Upper Goose, Blythe and Corral Lakes. Goose has been the hands-down best producer with relatively quick limits in the 14- to 16-inch range. Blythe and Corral have been producing occasional limits with some really nice 18-plus-inch fish mixed in, some running in the five- and six-pound range. All three of these bodies of water have easy access and adequate boat ramps. The best technique has been still fishing with bait.

Pitch in and keep Quincy clean

Quincy’s highways are littered with trash because people are getting careless when it comes to their trash ending up in the trash can. I think people should be fined and caught for their wrongdoing. The police aren’t really sitting there to catch them littering. How are they supposed to know who is doing it? And the people who have the highway piece adopted aren’t cleaning their part of the highway. The trash is making Quincy look gross and Quincy is a really pretty place. When people are throwing their trash out of their car windows they are polluting our planet and they can kill an animal when that animal mistakes it for food. They will never know if the poor animal is gone or not. Not all the trash you throw out is decomposable and when the people who adopted that part of the highway aren’t doing their job it doesn’t help. When they do clean then they leave their trash bags on the side of the road it doesn’t help much either. The trash trucks also spill trash out of their trucks and make it look worse. I think people should do their jobs.

Dave Graybill: The Fishin' Magician

The Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced the closure of the steelhead season on three locations in our region. Now closed to fishing is the main stem Columbia River from the Highway 173 Bridge at Brewster to 400 feet below Chief Joseph Dam. The Okanogan River from the mouth to the Highway 97 Bridge in Oroville is now closed as is the Similkameen River from the mouth to 400 feet below Enloe Dam. These closures were made to minimize impacts on spawning steelhead. Steelhead fishing remains open on the Columbia River from Rock Island Dam to the powerlines crossing the river at Daroga State Park, the Wenatchee River from the mouth to 400 feet below Tumwater Dam, the Icicle River from the mouth to 500 feet downstream of the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery Barrier Dam, and the Entiat River from the mouth to approximately a half-mile upstream. All the rules pertaining to steelhead fishing are still in effect. Please visit the department’s web site and read the official news release for all the details on these rule changes.
