Texas Lake Waterfowl Report - Updated: 9/12/25

Waterfowl number Very few teal observed in the general area yet.
Water levels Pool 1 is nearly full and is a mix of wild millet and smartweed with mowed openings.  Pools 2, 3B, 3D, 3F, 5, 6, 7, & 9 have water.  These pools have been wet since June and have a lot of vegetation with small open water areas.  Pools 4 & 8 are dry and likely will be through teal season as the well used to pump water to these pools is being repaired.
