50 years ago we had a 9 duck limit on Lake Lowell and the population would peak at 750,000 ducks around Thanksgiving. All night long we could hear the whisper of waterfowl wings over our house. Today the population, which now includes all the Snake River from Swan Falls to Weiser tops out at 50,000 to 75,000.
Lake Lowell is unique because the water is controlled by the Bureau of Reclamation, the fishing and hunting regulated by the Idaho Fish & Game Department, and the the refuge by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
