Lake Lewisville 01-19-2007 09:57
Cloudy, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
Mallards continue to be the main duck in the Lake Lewisville area, though numbers are down a little bit from last weekend. Flight groups are getting smaller and smaller, with pair bonded groups appearing frequently. Mama’s gonna need a new boyfriend… A few wood ducks are hanging on, too. Other than that, just be aware that water levels continue to rise and some isolated spots are now under too much water to hunt.

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 35-40 Degrees
I checked one of my hunting spots yesterday…small slough near Lake O the Pines. At 3pm there were 2 divers and 30-40 mallards. This spot has kept a good mix of puddle ducks for the past 2 years. I would agree with what Stephen Schwartz reported in that some ducks have moved out but we may have gotten a push of new mallards to the area…(As expected from a good January cold front in this area).

I have seen a lot of birds dispersed with thte rain! Of course they arent concetrated anymore, and its getting touhger to find them due to all the flooded timber around our place. I know just south of here, birds have defintely moved around…..and mayeb out. Not sure, but they arent bunched up anymore. JUst from what I’ve seen.
The challenge now will be just to find them. with this weather once you find them, you ought to do well. What are some reports on the big lakes in NE Texas? Has anyone seen any large numbers of mallards yet?
Good luck the next few weeks fellas!

Belton Lake 01-15-2007 13:29
Cloudy, Snow & Rain Mix – 30-34 Degrees – Ice
Had to take it slow out to the lake this morning due to all the ice build up over the night. I was hoping for a large increase in the number of birds on the lake, pushed down by the front. Saw a few groups flying this morning but they were far off and only had one one hen pintail come into my spread.

Does anyone goose hunt? All I’m seeing is duck hunting news. Any way I had the best goose day of the year yesturday afternoon, 17 snows and blues and three canadas all shot out of the deeks. I shot a banded snow on Dec. 28 that was banded in 1988 and probably born in 87, thats a 19 year old goose.

Lake Lewisville area 01-08-2007 17:02
Sunny & Clear, Morning Fog – 45-50 Degrees
We hunted a small pocket of water near Lake Lewisville on Saturday and Sunday morning and killed good straps of mallards both days. There were more birds Sunday than Saturday, but the birds absolutely stopped flying right about true sunrise. It was imperative both mornings to shoot well right at legal, because the birds were done a half an hour later and there was no flight at mallard thirty.
Water conditions are much improved, though a couple of spots on Lake Lewisville itself have been drowned out.
Water conditions on Lake Lavon have opened up some new areas, but hunting results have been mixed.
Stock tanks in the Jacksboro area are putting down good mixed bags of everything from gadwalls to canvasbacks.

3 of us shot 3 scaup and 2 teal this morning. Best day we’ve had in a while. Fog was so thick the birds did not start flying until late.
