Duck season ends as Swan Creek area proves fruitful
Refuge spokesman says visitors set a seasonal high for ducks while game biologist Buddy English notes hunters enjoying good success in the Swan Creek management area. Ducks, bass, and crappie reports highlight weekend fishing as season closes Saturday afternoon. Spinner baits and plastic worms in 10 to 20 feet yield best results with slow retrieves.
