Tuttle Creek Wildlife Area Waterfowl Report -
| Waterfowl numbers | Teal numbers are average compared to other years in the past. It has been a hard time to get a decent observation of waterfowl numbers with the amount of water that is spread out from Fancy Creek north of the Hwy 16 bridge to the north to just south of the Olsburg Marsh. Black Vermillion has a good amount of water in the north pod and the south pod also. Olsburg Marsh is dry, but the river has plenty of water. |
| Water level | The lake is currently at 1082.45 which is 7.45' above conservation pool level. Out flow is 500 cfs and inflow is 1680 cfs. Water levels are good at the time with the recent rains and the river inflow. Black Vermillion has good water levels for both north and south pods. Olsburg and Irving Marsh are the only two marshes that does not have water. |
| Hunting conditions | Fair to Good_ moist soil production and abundant flooded vegetation. With the amount of water that area has, waterfowl and hunters will be able to spread out. |
| Expected hunting success | Fair. Reminder to make sure waterfowl are being identified with a few amounts of bigger ducks around. |
