Nice shoot!

Finished up a nice limit on the river around 10 on Sat.  4 wigeon, 2 scaup, and a bull gaddie.  My dad got 5 wigeon, a GE, and a big bull can.

Jordano, looks like you were on the Skagit.  Not to bad.  I tried to take some pics but the cold froze the camera or drained the battery.  Oh well.  It was definately a good shoot on Sunday, cold as a mother-in-laws kiss though.

All the big water should lock up in the next few days.  Single digit temps.  I can't wait for the cans and redheads to come down in full force!

My house sits on the east wenatchee hills right above the wenatchee (fancher).  It's locked up right down to the bridge with ice breaking off and floating down the river.  The shore of the Columbia is frozen in the slow spots by the parks. :hello:

Hello river hunting!

AW, Don't worry too much boys.  The best hunt on record for me was on the Columbia from Uh, yeah Jordano, just up river from there, 20 mph winds blowing in our faces out of the north, ice on the dogs, and ice floating downriver at 5 degrees.  The 2 of us shot 12 northern mallards in 2.5 hours that day, probably missed 15 more, a few years back.

Oh I know what you mean.  17* out, cold southern wind blowing.  14 Mallards down in 1.5 hours.  Didn't see another kind of duck all day just hundreds of mallards.
