I don't know but that's crazy isn't it. I think they messed around with both canals too much this year.Frenchman canal is so high the farmer had to move his cattle back. I looked as I was coming home Sunday and the irrigation canal was about 1/2 full so I would bet the waters about the same but that's only my guess.
How did you hunt it last week, boat or on foot. This coming summer I want to get a large Jo then my 8'er. just for the canals.
Now this sounds like hell too. The water was low, then they filled the irrigation canal and shot water down the hill from the ditch to clean out all the weeds and left it that way for a while and the ducks where nesting where the usually do.The they raised the darn water and flooded the nest of a lot of the ducks and left it extra high all summer. I'm talking mostly Frenchman but it was that way on the winchester also. I've only hunted or fished the area for the last 8 or so years.I hunt on foot (jump shoot only if I'm scared)
We need some water in the pot holes for the boat hunters and maybe that would lessen the amount of people on the winchester.
As I said in a different thread there is too much water for the ducks now. They're out in the middle of cattails where there's small ponds and really don't need to leave with no hunting pressure. I got up a few ducks west of Dodson on the Winchester but if I shot it my dog can not go. The bottoms so bad she can't walk and not deep enough for her to swim. Heck she couldn't get to them thru all the cattails (they're thick) if she was no dry ground.
If I don't help a guy move I'll be going down Friday and if you pm me I can call you if that would help you in anyway. If huntings still a slow as it has been I'll be burning weeds at camp.So look for the smoke signals
