The waterfowl policy at Stockton Lake Project shall be in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. No special permit is required.

2. Blinds may not be constructed or placed on the project lands and waters until one week prior to the beginning of waterfowl season and shall be completely removed from the project within ten days after the season closes.

3. Stationary shoreline blinds shall be constructed of native plant materials (dead brush, native grass, cattails, etc.), light framing materials, etc.   Wire and steel posts are prohibited.

4. There are no specific material requirements for floating blinds other than they must be removed daily.

5. The party who constructs the blind shall have priority use of it. However, if the person that constructs the blind is not occupying the blind at legal shooting time, then the blind is available to other hunters on a first come first serve basis. Also, to minimize any problems concerning priority use of blinds, the party that constructs the blind must attach name and address and telephone number to the blind on a durable material. Blinds not properly identified by the owner, maybe removed by project personnel.

6. A minimum distance of 300 yards is required between all blinds.

7. All decoys must be removed daily.

8. Please do not infringe on other sportsmen.

Hunting of Canada geese only (does not include ducks) in Corps of Engineers managed park areas will be permitted December 1, 2016 thru February 6, 2017, under the following conditions:

1. Only Canada geese may be taken from parks managed by the Corps of Engineers on Stockton Lake in order to reduce the resident Canada goose population.
2. Only portable blinds will be permitted and must be removed daily.

     3.   Vehicles must remain on paved or graveled surfaces.

4. Loaded firearms are restricted to blinds only. However, hunters may pursue crippled Canada geese when necessary.
