Blue winged teal are here!

Was fishing Flat Lake off the Diversion Canal yesterday and saw 2 different flocks of BWT along the bank just loafing/preening. Wondering if I could set up a boat blind in the lily pads and be legal? Back in the 80’s there were permanent blinds built on the lake, back when we had mallards and wigeons here.

Been seeing them in Henderson North Flats by the droves!

2022 teal opener:
Pearl River WMA sw of hwy 11 launch. Hiked in to the second pond and seen 2 flocks of teal. Didn’t get a shot, I believe this place will be better next weekend when the hens and juvie teal get down here. We’ll see what transpires and I need more 40% deet skeeter spray, the bugs are brutal. I did here a few shots along the West Pearl at daybreak. How’d y’all do?

Slow times for us in SE Louisiana. Shot 3 teal yesterday and 2 today. LFWS aerial survey that came out Friday indicated 7,000 teal in SE LA. That is why we struggled, they aren't here.
