When I was checking on some of the fishing opportunities in the Moses Lake area, I went over to check on Medicare Beach on Potholes Reservoir. On a sunny winter weekend, this beach will have anglers scattered along the black sand, sitting in folding chairs, with their rods in holders. Rainbow cruise along this shoreline and will suck in the baits cast from the bank. Most often the baits being offered are a marshmallow and nightcrawler combo or some various color of Power Bait. There are picnic tables at intervals on the beach, and even a couple of vault toilets nearby. I found the toilet open and clean when I was there. To reach Medicare Beach, take Highway 17 south from Moses Lake and take a right on Road M SE. A few miles up the road look Road 6 SE. Take a right here and continue to Road J SE, and the entrance to the public access. A Discover Pass is required here. It was cold and foggy when I was there last Monday, and I wasn’t surprised that no one was there. However, when the sun is out this is a popular place to spend some time fishing for rainbow.
