CWA seeks expanded duck hunter opportunity
Our legislative team recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with the newly nominated U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director and U.S. Department of the Interior leadership. Among the topics discussed: pintail limits and Klamath water. CWA is also working on allowing hunting until Jan. 31, regardless of what day of the week that falls on.

Want more mallards? Do something about it!
It wasn’t so long ago that California consistently killed more mallards than we do now. The mallard was our No. 1 bird for seven of eight seasons between 1999 and 2006! Not anymore, and we know the problem: breeding habitat. If you like bagging lots of spoonies and gadwalls, carry on. But if you like putting big, iconic greenheads on your strap, there is something every single one of you can do: duck club owners, public wetland managers, farmers and even ordinary hunters who don’t control land-use decisions.

From CWA camper to competitive caller
For most of his life, 15-year-old Bronson Lasley has only hunted with a small group of family and friends. After what he did last month, though, that’s about to change. A lot.

Unimpaired flows: water solution or threat?
Once again, it seems that every water issue revolves around fish, not waterfowl. The State Water Resources Control Board has decided that the answer to declining fish populations is a mandate that will result in losses of water supplies for agriculture and for wetland habitats.

The board wants to restrict storage and use of water from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers to a specified percentage of the “unimpaired flow” of the rivers. Unimpaired flows are the flows that would occur on the rivers and their tributaries in the absence of dams and other diversions of water.
