Waterfowl hunt opener conditions

Conditions at specific waterfowl areas

• Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge
• Browns Park WMA

  Browns Park WMA

  Water conditions: Water levels on the Headquarters and Butch Cassidy units will be at or near full pool. Bridgeport unit will be lower due to a pump failure. Ponds on the Parsons unit will be drawn down as the fall/winter progresses to allow for a maintenance project next spring and summer. River levels are expected to remain around an average of 1900 cfs through the fall.

  Access: Road access from Dutch John to the Bridgeport and Parsons units is in good condition. The swinging bridge has reopened in Colorado and has a maximum width of 8 feet.

  Bird use: Current bird numbers are similar to last year. Youth hunters should expect to see some birds, which typically decoy well. For the regular season opener, hunters will mostly see mallards, green-winged teal, wigeon and gadwall. There are some Canada geese using the area right now.

  General information: There may be habitat work happening on the Bridgeport unit around the hay fields this fall.

• Clear Lake, Topaz Slough, Redmond & Bicknell Bottoms WMA

  Clear Lake, Topaz Slough, Redmond & Bicknell Bottoms WMA

  Water conditions: The spring flows at Clear Lake have been low all year; it was another long, hot and dry summer. There is about the same amount of available water to be used by ducks and hunters as last year. The area south of the county road, Unit 1, is full this year. It has great submergent growth to attract birds and should provide good hunting. Unit 2 is dry, and there is no water north of the county road for the beginning of the season. Like last year the water will begin to fill areas as the weather cools down. North of the county road should begin filling around December 1. The west marsh area is dry. Conditions should improve as the season progresses; more ducks show up and water increases with each passing week.

  Please remember that Clear Lake is very shallow for boats; only non-motorized boats are allowed on the area.

  Marsh conditions at Topaz Slough are completely dry. There was very little excess irrigation water.

  Redmond has good conditions on small impoundments and also has foot access to the Sevier River.

  Bicknell Bottoms has excellent conditions. Water levels are good, and waterfowl numbers are up this year.

  Access: All of the areas allow only non-motorized boats due to shallow water conditions. Camping is allowed in parking lots, and fires are permitted. ATVs are prohibited on all areas listed.

  Clear Lake, Redmond and Bicknell Bottoms are all good places to try pheasant hunting. Each area is open for pheasant hunting for 30 days and has excellent habitat for the birds and hunters to enjoy. Please check the current proclamations for details and shooting hours. If hunters are looking to get away from the crowds, try these areas.

  Bird use: Clear Lake duck numbers increase as the season progresses. Good numbers of ducks show up as soon as the weather turns colder. They are expected to continue increasing with peak numbers around December 1. These ducks begin using flooded annual weeds and can provide some great late season hunting with easy access. The most common ducks at Clear Lake are wigeon, mallards, pintails and green-winged teal.

  Good numbers of ducks and geese are using Bicknell Bottoms. Bicknell Bottoms offers the best hunting both early season and late season when conditions are very cold. Bicknell Bottoms can have very good late season goose hunting.

  Redmond is generally better for duck hunting earlier in the season.

  General information: The general season is open October 13, 2018 through January 26, 2019.

  Youth pheasant and quail hunting is open statewide October 13-15. The waterfowl season opens October 13 in the Southern Region, as well.

  Gunnison Bend Reservoir is a large rest area in Delta. Many waterfowl stay there during the day and fly off eventually to go feed in the surrounding agricultural fields. You can find success by scouting and asking permission to hunt private lands.

  Enjoy the areas and good luck!

• Desert Lake WMA

  Desert Lake WMA

  Water conditions: Because of lack of moisture, several ponds are dry and the rest pond is very low. A couple ponds retained water for the whole year and should provide good cover and food this fall. Ponds with water are holding birds. A couple good rainstorms could quickly add water to empty ponds, increasing and spreading out hunting opportunities..

  Access: Access the pond on the county roads that go through the property. There are six parking lots for waterfowl hunters along the county roads. Camping is prohibited on the Desert Lake Waterfowl Management Area. Please use the adjacent BLM property for overnight use.

  Bird use: Waterfowl numbers have begun to increase over the last month and should remain steady until the general opener. Waterfowl numbers typically go down following the opener until the migration begins. There should be waterfowl present for the youth hunt and they should decoy well. Common species present include, widgeon, gadwall, mallard, green-wing teal, redheads and coots. There have also been about 100 Canada geese present on the property.

• Farmington Bay, Layton-Kaysville and Timpie Springs WMAs

  Farmington Bay, Layton-Kaysville and Timpie Springs WMAs

  Water conditions:

  Farmington Bay WMA: Wetland conditions at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area (FBWMA) are fair to good outside the impounded units, and excellent inside the impounded units. Specifically, all units are at hunt level capacity. Unit 1, Unit 2 and Turpin produced large amounts of Sago pondweed. The abundance of this submerged aquatic vegetation in our three largest units will provide excellent forage for migrating waterfowl at FBWMA.

  The habitat in the interior sheet-flow wetlands and impoundments within Farmington Bay is in great condition due to aggressive herbicide treatments and/or cattle grazing on invasive Phragmites. For example, over 1,200 acres of Phragmites was treated northwest of the Turpin unit during the fall of 2017 and 2018, and the area was mowed and crushed during the winter of 2018 and 2019. In addition, cattle grazed extensively on the northwest side of the turpin unit.

  These large-scale Phragmites and grazing treatments north of Turpin should provide excellent areas for birds to loaf and should provide great hunting access. Phragmites was treated with herbicide on all dike lines and other areas accessible by Marsh-masters, track machines, road vehicles, and airboats during August 2019. Improved habitat conditions should encourage excellent bird use at Farmington Bay this year.

  Cattle were used to manage Phragmites on the south drawdown unit, northeast of Turpin, Miller Unit, and east of management headquarters. In 2015, a permanent four-strand barbwire fence was constructed along the dike on the North side of Turpin to contain cattle. Sportsmen should use the walk-through gates at all of the appropriate crossings for wetland access north of Turpin.

  Teal Lake (directly north of the airboat launch and west of the Unit 1 dike) was completed during the summer of 2016. DWR's waterfowl maintenance crew improved the dike in 2018 by spreading gravel on top of the dike, which has made it more accessible to managers and the public.

  During the summer of 2019, Farmington Bay staff grew row-crops of sorghum directly behind our office for bird and sportsman's use. Several wheat fields will be planted at Farmington Bay this fall, and upland vegetation rehabilitation projects will be taking place. Specifically, managers will be planting upland mixes near the Great Salt Lake nature center.

  Air boating conditions: During the fall of 2018, Gilbert Bay (located in the south arm of the Great Salt Lake) had decreased to a level of 4192.2 feet above sea level. Currently the Great Salt Lake has increased to a level of 4193.2 feet above sea level. Conditions in in the shallow bays of the GSL have improved compared to last year. However, sportsmen should consider hazards, multiple changes in vegetation, and large expanses of mudflat that exist (and change yearly) outside the diked units in the open waters of Farmington Bay, Layton-Kaysville wetlands, and the Great Salt Lake.

  Timpie Springs WMA

  Although Timpie Springs is a small wetland complex, marsh conditions and habitat are considered good to excellent. Specifically, Timpie Springs consists of two large impoundments, some sheet-flow wetlands, mudflat, and some areas of upland habitat (totaling 1440 acres). The wetland vegetation is characterized by low standing salt grass, and few bull-rush species. Both ponds at Timpie Spring WMA are full and spilling water onto sheet-flow wetlands or surrounding mudflats.

  Marsh conditions at Layton-Kaysville are fair to poor due to Phragmites encroachment and low water.

  Access: All of the access points to FBWMA opened on September 19, 2019. Boat hunters are encouraged to use the north entrance to launch into Unit 1 and Turpin. Access for small boats is located at the south entrance. Because of submerged hazards, a wakeless boat speed is recommended in all of the fresh water impoundments. Consider how well you'll be able to retrieve birds before you choose a place to hunt.

  Access to Timpie Springs WMA is permitted year-round. Access to Gaily and Layton-Kaysville wetlands will be open two days prior to the youth hunt, which occurs on September 20, 2018.

  Bird use: There are currently large numbers of ducks and geese at FBWMA, and fair numbers of ducks and geese at Timpie Springs and Layton-Kaysville marshes. Managers anticipate an increase in bird use and distribution within our impounded wetlands due to good to excellent habitat conditions within them. Waterfowl hunters can expect to see large numbers of cinnamon teal, gadwall, and pintail early in the season. Diving ducks typically show up later in October. Swans are typically harvested at FBWMA in larger numbers during mid to late November, while dark goose hunting typically improves during the extended goose hunt. The 2018 opening weekend average at FBWMA was 1.58 ducks per hunter, and this year's opener should provide similar or better hunting opportunities.

  General information:

  • All of the areas listed above are open for hunting.
  • The North West corner of Unit 1 at Farmington Bay is a waterfowl rest area and is closed to hunting and trespass.
  • The area west of the main entrance road to the first right bend in the road, and north of the road until you get to Goose Egg Island, is all closed for education purposes.
  • Shooting is prohibited at Farmington Bay within 600 feet of all dikes and any road open to motorized vehicles.
  • Airboats are prohibited within diked units.
  • The South Crystal unit is motorless unit.
  • Camping is allowed in parking areas only. Open fires are prohibited. Please clean your campsite so that we can continue to allow camping.
  • ATVs must stay within the posted corridor. Failure to do so will result in a citation.
  • The hunting blind for people with disabilities is by reservation only. Contact Jason Jones at 801-451-7386 for reservations/rules.
• Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge

  Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge

  Water conditions: There is water present in all hunting impoundment units for the 2019 waterfowl hunt opener, which will be maintained throughout the season. The Shoveler pool is at optimum water level. The Mallard, Curlew and Pintail pools are slightly below optimum water levels. The Harrison pool is dry but water is present in the western marsh portion close to North Spring. The Avocet Unit was dry throughout the summer but recently started filling and is currently below optimum water level. Water in the Avocet Unit is present around the special access blind areas and western portions of the unit. Water is beginning to fill the northern and eastern portions of Avocet pool and will continue to fill throughout the season.

  Access: Access into hunting areas is permitted per refuge regulations. Please refer to the hunting information tear sheet. Accessible hunting blinds are available by reservation only. Hunters must register (in person or by phone) with staff at the refuge headquarters to use one of these blinds. First priority will be given to those with disabilities.

  Bird use: Overall waterfowl numbers are average.

  General information: Hunting of ducks, geese, mergansers and coots is permitted in designated areas of Fish Springs NWR according to Federal and State regulations. Hunting any other wildlife species is prohibited. Fires and overnight camping or parking are prohibited. Camping is allowed on neighboring Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. All hunters must individually sign in at the visitor information kiosk at the Refuge entrance before proceeding to the open hunting area. Hunters must also sign out prior to leaving the refuge. Hunters may enter the refuge two hours before sunrise, and must exit the refuge by 1.5 hours after sunset. For more detailed information please read the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge Hunting Information tear sheet or call 435-693-3122 x2.

• Harold Crane WMA

  Harold Crane WMA

  Water conditions:

  Main Impoundments — There is very good aquatic vegetation growth in all impoundments.

  Exterior Flats — Good conditions on flats to the east. West of the impoundments are flooding.

  Rainbow Unit — Currently the Rainbow Pond is full of water and will have water throughout the hunt. The area north of the Rail Trail also looks good on the east end. It was grazed by cattle and has good water.

  Generally, marsh and impoundment conditions are great. There has been an excellent Sago pondweed response to drying the impoundments last year.

  Access: Gates opened on Thursday, September 19, 2019.

  The road with three parking lots accessing the west Rainbow Unit is in good shape. The main Harold Crane parking lot has been improved also.

  The east access channel into the non-motorized boating only, east unit was cleaned and boat launch was installed a couple years ago. This channel starts at the west end of the main parking lot.

  The Federal Bureau of Reclamation road to Harold Crane through Willard Upland Game Bird Area is in okay shape because of the hard work that our waterfowl maintenance crew has done. The head gate bridges are slightly narrower than the road, so be careful.

  Bird use:

  Main Impoundments — Excellent numbers of both ducks and geese on all impoundments.

  Rainbow Unit — Fair number of birds north of the Rail Trail in the phragmites treatment area. Goose numbers are overall great.

  General information: Hunting should be excellent for the youth hunt and general opener if the birds stick around.

• Howard Slough WMA

  Howard Slough WMA

  Water conditions:Conditions are good in main impoundments. Water is at full pool/spilling levels and contains great pondweed growth. Some seasonal, small ponds on the Hooper Hot Springs Unit are low and/or dry. The east side impoundment edge was also chemically treated last fall and grazed this summer. An older 280ac phragmites treatment area has been grazed again to control regrowth on the east side of the main impoundment southeast of the popular "Shotgun Alley" location. This area looks good, hunted very well last year, and is considered one of our most successful phrag treatment areas.

  Access: The access road has been graded. Gates opened on Thursday, September 19, 2019.

  Bird use: Excellent bird numbers are in main impoundments. The 280ac grazed area has a lot of birds. Some birds are way west of the marsh areas along lakefront. Generally duck numbers have been holding well above average and goose and swan numbers have increased substantially the last few years here.

  General information: Howard Slough WMA had some of the best WMA Youth Hunt success in the region the last few years and should be great again this year. It should hunt well throughout the season. For its size it holds up very well under extremely heavy hunting pressure and swan hunting is expected to be good later on.

• Locomotive Springs WMA

  Locomotive Springs WMA

  Water conditions: The water levels are very low and impoundments are dry.

  Access: Roads are a little rough. Gates will open the afternoon of Sept. 19.

  Bird use: Bird numbers are extremely low. Mallard, pintail and green-winged teal are the primary birds. There are very few Canada geese.

  General information: Locomotive Springs WMA is in the northern goose area. Dark goose hunting will be closed October 18–25. Camping is allowed in established parking areas, but there are no facilities available. Fires are the responsibility of the camper, and if you lose it, you pay for it.

• Ogden Bay WMA

  Ogden Bay WMA

  Water conditions:

  Unit 1–Pondweed growth is excellent on the main impoundment and good in the secondary impoundments. Over 2,000 acres of phragmites on the east side of the open water have been successfully grazed. With the acquisition of 3 Marsh master machines, the east side of the unit was treated for phragmites as well. In the secondary impoundments grazing pressure was increased and more acreage was opened up.

  West of unit one there were thousands of acres that were intensively grazed by cattle, opening once overgrown areas up. There isn't a lot of cover out there, but there are a lot of ducks using the area.

  Unit 2–Grazing pressure was also increased in this area and phragmites overgrowth was reopened extensively this summer. The area has just started being flooded, and should be flooded by the youth hunt.

  Unit 3–Pondweed growth is excellent this year as the stands developed over the last three years have thickened and enlarged. Cattle have grazed the east side of the open water, opening overgrown areas. Be advised that the rest area is in place on Unit 3. The area is very well posted and there is absolutely no trespassing allowed in this area. The rest area is the 2 small impoundments that are on the south side of the road as you head to the Unit three boat launch.

  Weber Delta–South Weber Delta was mostly dry this summer and is in fair condition. Water is in the river impoundment, however the east dump basin is low.

  Pintail–Cattle grazed thousands of acres out here and have opened up a lot of overgrown areas. Water was sent out there around Sept. 10 and a lot of the area should be flooded by the youth hunt and most should be flooded by the general opener.

  Generally all major impoundments are full and overflowing onto the westward flats. Marsh conditions are good to excellent in most areas. The Great Salt Lake elevation is 4193.4, which is about one foot higher than it was one year ago. Phragmites control by drawdown, grazing, or herbicide projects occurred in several large sections of marsh and they may appear drought stricken, but are now flooding.

  Access: All outer gates to lower parking lots and boat launches opened on Thursday, September 19, 2019.

  There is good vehicle access with most roadways and parking lots mowed and in good shape. Most access roads will be graded by the general opener.

  The band slam project is currently being flooded and there are hundreds of geese using it.

  The bridge at the west parking lot collapsed, which will be a major issue on the north end of Ogden Bay. There will be no foot access to the south side of the river. The boat launch, however, will still be usable. Hunters hoping to hunt the area south of that parking lot will have to park in the east parking lot and walk to the west.

  Unit 1 boat channel into main impoundments is clear and usable. Unit 3 boat channel will be clear and usable.

  Bird use:

  Unit 1–Great bird numbers in the main impoundments. Good numbers of birds are starting to build in the larger interior flats, which were reopened by grazing and are now flooded. Great numbers of ducks are starting to use secondary ponds, also.

  Unit 2 –We have just started to release water to the area and bird numbers will increase as soon as the area is flooded. Further west flats and far north end ponds are expected, like last year, to gain large numbers of birds when these areas totally refill and interior hunting forces them out there.

  Unit 3–Great bird numbers in the main impoundment. The west flats are just starting to get water and bird numbers will increase as it floods. The east flats have good numbers of birds.

  Weber Delta–Fair in general on North Weber Delta and poor on South Weber Delta, but numbers will increase as these areas refill. However, the area is holding a fair number of geese. Ducks are concentrated in the larger ponds and impoundments on North Weber Delta.

  Pintail–Good now and with an expectation of increasing to excellent numbers later on west side flats towards the Great Salt Lake.

  Generally, birds are mostly concentrated on larger impoundments or ponds and flats in Unit 1 and 3. Remote ponds and flats way west of impoundments will increasingly hold larger numbers of birds as they are displaced in easily accessible areas by hunters pre-hunt scouting activities and the Youth Hunt.

  General information: the Youth Hunt should be great in the main impoundments and adjacent flats. The General Opener should be great as well. Hunting should continue to be good as the season progresses and new birds arrive after all the pre-hunt scouting and weekend pressures subsides. Hunters in general will find the best hunting in the better habitat and bird concentration areas detailed before.

• Ouray National Wildlife Refuge

  Ouray National Wildlife Refuge

  Water conditions: There will be water present in all Leota Bottom impoundments for the 2019 waterfowl hunt opener.

  Access: Access into this area is limited to foot, bicycle, horseback, canoes or small boats with electric motors only.

  Bird use: Overall waterfowl numbers are slightly above average due to good wetland conditions.

  General information: Leota Bottom is the only area on the Ouray NWR that is open to duck, goose or coot hunting. You cannot hunt snipe, swan or sandhill crane at Ouray. The Green River, its sandbars and islands are closed to hunting within the refuge boundary. You cannot hunt waterfowl within 100 yards of the Green River in Leota Bottom. Hunters may enter the refuge 1.5 hours before sunrise, and must exit the refuge by 1.5 hours after sunset. For more detailed information please read the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge Hunting and Fishing Regulations brochure or call 435-545-2522.

• Public Shooting Grounds WMA

  Public Shooting Grounds WMA

  Water conditions: Water conditions have been good all summer except for the marshes south of Hull and Wigeon Lakes. We are starting to flood this area now and should have much of the area flooded by the Youth Hunt. Hull Lake, Duck Lake (Rest Area), Pintail and Wigeon Lakes have been full all summer and have good to excellent pondweed production.

  The west marsh held water for most of the summer and will be flooded by the Youth Hunt. Much of the vegetation in this area was treated by helicopter and we plan to burn the area next spring.

  The ponds on North Public (north of highway 83) held water all summer and produced good to excellent pondweed. Due to a summer drawdown last year, both Mud Lake and East Crocker produced excellent pondweed this summer.

  Access: Gates will open the afternoon of September 19. All roads and parking lots have been, or will be mowed and graded before the general opener. Speed bumps have been installed on the main road near the physically challenged blinds. Please be careful and slow down.

  Bird use: Bird numbers are excellent and building daily. Mallard, pintail, green-winged teal, gadwall, cinnamon teal, and some redheads are present now. Wigeon are starting to show up in good numbers. There are also numerous Canada geese right now.

  General information: Public Shooting Grounds WMA is in the northern goose area. Dark goose hunting will be closed October 18–25. Gates will open on September 19, 2019. Camping is allowed in established parking areas, but there are no facilities available. Fires are the responsibility of the camper. If you lose it, you pay for it. Please respect posted signs and regulations along with regulations in the most current Utah Waterfowl Guidebook.

  Blinds for disabled people are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You must possess a DMV-issued disabled sticker or license plate to use these blinds.

  Widgeon Lake is a non-motorized boat lake.

  The swan-hunting boundary has been extended north to highway 83. South Public Shooting Grounds will be open to swan hunting. North Public Shooting Grounds (North of highway 83) is still closed to swan hunting.

• Salt Creek WMA

  Salt Creek WMA

  Water conditions: Water conditions will be at normal hunting levels for the Youth Waterfowl Hunt and the general opener. The majority of Salt Creek WMA was dry for most of the summer. We had hoped to dredge the north end of the marsh near the mouth of the channel. Unfortunately, failed infrastructure where we bypass the water kept the north end of the marsh inundated. However, a number of abundant seed-producing plants grew in the areas that did go dry. Birds are already responding to the flooded plants and should provide decent food through the season. Egret pond is dry and will start filling once irrigation subsides. It is possible it could be dry for the general opener. Some pondweed grew in the northern most portion of Salt Creek Bay. Pondweed production in the north and east impoundments is fair to excellent.

  Access: Gates will open the afternoon of September 19. All roads and parking lots have been, or will be mowed and graded before the general opener. Please be careful and slow down on WMA roads.

  Bird use: Bird numbers are excellent and building daily. You should see mallard, pintail, green-winged teal, gadwall, cinnamon teal and wigeon at Salt Creek. There are also numerous Canada geese right now.

  General information: Salt Creek WMA is in the northern goose area. Dark goose hunting will be closed October 18–25. Camping is allowed in established parking areas, but there are no facilities available. Fires are the responsibility of the camper. And if you lose it, you pay for it. Please respect posted signs and regulations along with regulations in the most current Utah Waterfowl Guidebook.

  Blinds for disabled people are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. You must possess a DMV-issued disabled sticker or license plate to use these blinds.

• Utah Lake and Central Utah WMAs

  This preview will be available soon.

• Willard Spur WMA

  Willard Spur WMA

  Water conditions: Wetland conditions at Willard Spur Waterfowl Management Area (WSWMA) are good to excellent. Specifically, an above-average winter and run off has made water levels at or above average. Good water levels have produced large amounts of sago pondweed. The abundance of this submerged aquatic vegetation should provide excellent forage for migrating waterfowl at WSWMA.

  The habitat at WSWMA varies from year to year depending on water conditions. However, aggressive herbicide treatments are taking place annually in the fall to decrease the spread and growth of phragmites (Phragmites australis). Over 900 acres of phragmites were treated north of HCWMA unit during the fall of 2018 and 2019, and the area was mowed and crushed during the winter of 2018 and 2019. In addition, a control burn took place in early spring of 2019 opening up large amounts of wetlands.

  These large-scale phragmites treatments on the south-central part of WSWMA should provide excellent areas for birds to loaf and should provide great hunting access. Improved habitat conditions should encourage excellent bird use at WSWMA this year.

  Access: All of the access points to WSWMA are open and will remain open year around. Conditions in the shallow bays of the Great Salt Lake have improved compared to last year. However, hunters should consider hazards such as sink boxes, as well as multiple changes in vegetation, and large expanses of mudflat that exist (and change yearly). Consider how well you'll be able to retrieve birds before you choose a place to hunt.

  Bird use: There are currently large numbers of ducks and geese at WSWMA. Managers anticipate an increase in bird use and distribution within the area due to good to excellent habitat conditions this year. Waterfowl hunters can expect to see large numbers of cinnamon teal, gadwall, mallard, wigeon and pintail early in the season. Diving ducks typically show up later in October. Swans are typically harvested in larger numbers during mid to late November. Hunters should anticipate similar or better hunting opportunities then the 2018 season.

  General information:

  • All of WSWMA is open for hunting
  • Boats are allowed on area
  • Boaters are cautioned of hazards in water
  • The northern property boundary consists of private land and Bear River Bird Refuge. North of this posted Boundary (D-Line) is considered a waterfowl rest area and is closed to hunting and trespassing
