MarDon Fishing Report 4/26/2017

As the weather continues to improve — so does the fishing. Water temperature in the dunes is approaching 60 degrees with the main lake running in the mid-50s. The 10-day weather outlook is calling for temperatures mainly in the upper 60’s to mid-70s next week. This should have a very positive affect on the fishing for all species.
