Waterfowl numbers | Very few teal observed on Webster Reservoir this week. |
Water level | 1866.7'; 25.8' below conservation pool. |
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 Boaters: Please be aware of shallow water if using a boat for waterfowl hunting. Many areas near shorelines are very shallow. There are also some humps and high spots that are just out of visibility right below the surface. |
