Lowcountry Wood Duck Hole

[Mills]

It is too far off the river for fish, unfortunately. It is a drain that runs through Dad's property. He has a dike going across it with a spillway to regulate the water level. It drains right down when you take the boards out of the spillway and then it is a great area for deer and turkeys. The big oak tree you see is a magnet for wildlife when the acorns fall

That is a nice "hole" I have a similar one, an old rice mill pond that is also a drain,but I can flood it from the river. I finished the season there yesterday with four woodies and two green wing.

This is Pepper, my Irish lab, with the last duck of the season, a male greenwing.
We had a pretty fine duck season here with these last two freezes pushing down a good number of birds
