We are permitted to hunt ducks and geese (waterfowl) on the south border of Palisades Reservoir, and on forest service and BLM ground along the river bottom. This 36 miles of river ranges from the Palisades Dam downstream through the Canyon to Clark's Hill. One piece of advice for the hunter planning his/her trip. In past years, changes in number of birds migrating have prompted the adjustment of opening and closing dates for waterfowl hunting. We absolutely feel it behooves you to give the Lodge a call or email in late July or early August. By then we should know the exact dates for this exciting experience.
The primary waterfowl species include mallards and Canadian geese; however, you may encounter pintail, widgeon, and teal.
Split up your day between hunting and fishing and kill two birds with one stone; pun intended.
