MarDon Migration! 3

At Mar Don Resort the concept of an "Off Season" is unknown.

Potholes Reservoir is open year-round and even if it freezes solid, there is always something to hunt and fish for. In fact, we visited MarDon the second week of December and the "dead of winter" was anything but dead!

The walk down to the dock is a bit on the icy side but the prospect of fishing next to the "Walleye decoy" net pen is enough to warm the heart of any angler!

Robbo joins the netpen faithful and the walleye fishing begins! Mar Don Resort raises rainbow trout and lunker walleyes lurk around the pen waiting to inhale escapees!

Just how big are the rainbow fed walleyes? Check out this 13.8 pound trophy! This fish is headed for the dinner table but I would have been running for the taxidermist!

The next morning dawns to find us hiding in layout blinds in a snow covered wheat field awaiting flights of Canadian honkers.

When the doors of the Final Approach layout blinds are closed, you are nothing but a lump in the snow!

Doug Spady of Dougs Boats & Outdoor with a fine pair of Canadians. It looks like it will be Christmas goose at the Spady house this year!!

Day two of our waterfowl hunt will be a boat blind drill out of the MarDon Duck Taxi! …Talk about a dedicated mallard buster,,this boat is it!!!!

Robbo starts us off with a fine greenhead and the "Mallard Buster" is open for business!!!

The highlight of any MarDon Duck Taxi adventure is the duck kabobs! Once a few puddlers hit the deck it's time to start building the kabobs..

The charcoal bucket doubles as a duck blind heater but when the kabobs hit the heat… it's hard to concentrate on the ducks!

Levi Meseburg is a master hunter, a championship caller and one helluva duck blind chef!

MarDon resort is a short, scenic drive from Seattle but a world away. The pace of life in the Potholes is a refreshing change from the hectic pace of the I-5 corridor. To have a chance to hunt and fish with the professionals from Mardon who live in this sportsmans paradise is an opportunity that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated!
