Cloudy, Winds Calm – 60-65 Degrees
Checked out GH yesterday for the Youth Hunt, not very much water yet, less than the same time last year. They are filling the place up, but it will take some time. Still Water might be a better spot for the youth hunt.
They burned alot of the cattails, there will be more open water this year, when they get some water into it. Not alot of birds yet eighther.
English Pointers and fine double guns, it dont get any better.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
The rain and wind from a few weeks ago combined with a few cold mornings must have sent the dove south. We hunted our favorite spot, an evening hunt and a morning hunt, my son shot at one bird. The worst part is that my dog tore her ankle open on some barbwire, so she will be out of commission for a few weeks. Last year we shot a few limits at the same spot, we looked around at most of the valley’s, Red Rock, Lemmon, Hungry, and there are just no birds.

Forgot to let you know that the water in harmon is looking great,but as it is used for irrigation,it fluctuates on a daily basis.Definetely no shortage of waterfowl,as I was able to count upwards of 100 honkers resting on the islands,and a nice group of greenheads and teal resting there as well. only 44 days left!!!!

Just wanted to let everybody know that stillwater looks GREAT!!!!Went thru the entire marsh today,and it really looks promising.Goose lake looks outstanding,with lots of water,and tons of food.The south nutgrass is also looking great,with high water levels,and lots of resting waterfowl.The west marsh is looking good with lots of water in the Millens landing area.Major kudos to the USFWS,as the roads and structures are all in top shape,and look to be ready for another great season!There is also some work being done on tule lake,and rumor has it, that it might have some water in it by opening day.Things are definetly looking better in the marsh.If anyone has any specific questions or comments shoot me a e at naughty@oasisol.com .

Current Conditions in Northern Nevada 08-05-2004 17:01
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Just wanted to give you all an update on habitat conditions that I observed late in July in Northern Nevada. Conditions are very dry and water levels are still going down. The Fernley, Alkali Lake, Humboldt, Scripps, and Franklin WMA’s are completely dry, as is the Fallon NWR. All other marshes are very low, with the best conditions observed on Stillwater NWR, Carson Lake (Greenhead Club), and to some extent the Mason Valley WMA. I did see some of the best widgeongrass (read that duck food) that I have observed in over 37 years on Walker Lake. As the water levels go down, it get better for waterfowl and this year was no exception. There were lots of ducks there last year, just a little hard to get at. The best food production was at the south end and the east shore line, but it is good all over.
Looks like about the same hunting season regulations as last if the Commission approves – 107-day duck season with a 60-day season within a season for Pintails and Canvasbacks. Remeber the early closure at Washoe Lake for geese, it caught some hunters off guard last year and cost big $$$$.
The is a move a foot to stabilize waterfowl regulations at the Flyway level. Some Council members are pushing this and it will result in somewhat simpler regulations but also in shorter seasons and lower bag limits. You need to keep you eyes on this one if you enjoy the longer seasons we have had in the past seven years.
Will let you know what I see after my Aug.17th flight. Heard that Greenhead will start to fill on Aug. 16th.

Hey Nevada Boys,
I heard that there was a new law passed at the first of the year with regards to gun show, can you elaborate on this?
I was planning to attend to Reno Gun Show and get a new deer rifle.
Thanks Matt Greene

Bill, sorry to hear you are leaving. Since you and Jim are the only ones that post, except for Norm, I really enjoy reading how things are going in So. Nevada. I wish you the best of luck in beautiful Montana. What a great place…
The dismal season ended on a blessed note. Saturday ended with two nice Canadas and Sunday culminated in the taking of two nice teal. Was a little better than last year but not as good as in the past. Wish more were posting and communicating.
God Bless to all!
