Good day on Siltcoos Lake

[FairWeather]

Had a beautiful morning on Siltcoos Lake hunting some ducks. First ones I’ve ever harvested, too!

my guide was excellent, very polite and patient with my lack of knowledge and experience. I definitely got my money’s worth in tips & wisdom alone.

At the end of the day, I went home with a nice mixed bag of some canvasbacks, scaup, and a bufflehead, and a smile on my face. Not a bad way to end a weekend.

It’s a lot of fun. Takes a little bit of $$ for waders and such, but going with a guide was a good choice I think.

For about the cost a set of waders he provided all of the decoys, the boat, the trained dog, and the know how. If you think of it as renting all of those services, it’s an absolute steal!
