Waterfowl numbers Very few teal observed on Webster Reservoir this week.

Hunting conditions Minimal inflow occurred during this Summer and Webster is still very low. Shorelines revegetated to some degree this growing season however there is very little flooded vegetation. The West end of the reservoir has a very silty, soft bottom. The mud is knee deep. 
Expected hunting success

Poor
