Pothole

It takes a bit of luck, but the pothole hunting opportunities in this area are endless. Our guides always have their heads on a swivel, looking for uncountable flights of dabblers dumping into a narrow, one-acre slough with reckless abandon. We do our best to tailor a pothole hunt with a semi-patterned flight, but with thousands of potholes for the ducks to choose from, you just never know. Relish in the uncertainty of pothole hunting from mid-September to early November.
