When I lived in the basin you could set your waterfowl clock by Veterans day, before and after. Lots of new birds . As Ducks55 just said....lake was full on Saturday. Was one of my absolute favorite day/week of the year...Veterans day/week for duck hunting. By the time the hunting media, or WDFW news updates reports that northerns are in it's usually Thanksgiving week.

Want to confirm it................check waterfowl threads a year ago............same questions came up................and birds were coming in. Enjoy! :hunt2:

Our group joined the save the walley foundation and took some prime Common Megansers and a hooded Merganser. Still waiting to see good numbers of ducks show up.
