Cass Waterfowl Lakes 3

From the dam looking out to the headwaters. Surrounded by crop fields.

The lake covers 10 to 15 acres of surface water depending on the amount of summer rainfall. This lake was designed as an irrigation lake to water the 240 acre grain field surrounding the lake. On the driest years, we have never seen this lake drop below 10 to 12 feet in depth. As the lake drops in depth during the summer months, natural vegetation, such as smartweed grow around the edges, making good cover for the hunter to hide and winter feed for the ducks and geese.

Many waterfowl hunters prefer to choose their own spot to set up and hunt on their own. Each year, ample acreage and wetlands are designated for the do it yourself waterfowl hunter that does not like to hunt out of blinds and be around other hunters.

If you reserve lake 3 no one else will be allowed to hunt the same lake on the same day unless you request the office to do so.

If the action is slow members are allowed to fish. This lake was stocked with bass, bluegill, crappie and channel cats over 20 years ago.

Late season on a cold winter with 90% frozen surface. Almost a limit. Any duck hunter that calls us and asks how many limits will they get on a hunt we readily recognize as not a do it yourself hunter, but one that measures success only by dead birds. The hunters that enjoys our wetlands the most are those that seek to make the most of the hunt for the hunt quality itself. In our case non-competitive duck hunting.
