Difficult. Extensive mud flats and shallow water exist on upper ends of the lake. Hunter concealment will be challenging. Because of low lake levels, boat travel is not possible between the lake and the Munkers Creek and Neosho River boat ramps.

Expected hunting success

Poor.

Comments

Waterfowl viewing opportunities currently good. Many species present and can often be observed close to shoreline. Dark goose and Low Plains Late Zone Duck Seasons are CLOSED. Light goose conservation order in effect from Feb. 11 through April 30.
