We smacked 'em good on the upper Connecticut on the Vermont side. Set up on Sunday in very low water. Came back Tuesday opener and everything was under 3 feet of water in the swamp as they let the dam water out. Let some cheep decoys out when we set up and they were spread all over. I fell in up to my pits with my neoprenes on trying to negotiate a little stream but 50 degree weather was no problem. But the ducks still came. Nice big fat ducks that are now duck confit. A perfect duck hunting day with sunrise, fog lifting and peak foliage.
Worked out the first day stupid misses and hit them again Thursday with good results.
Our season, interior Vermont zone, starts next Saturday so the Connecticut river zone was an extra treat. I would anticipate things getting hot because throughout that area I would guess that less than 10% of the corn is cut.
