The flooded timber west of 9 Road to the West end is available for all hunters. The north side has little flooded timber except in a few areas. Exposed mudflats will provide loafing areas. |

Poor for light geese on surrounding private land (obtain permission prior to hunting) and on WIHA areas near reservoir. |
