When Northeast Delta peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the gadwall peak here around mid January. Northeast Delta carries its own season curve rather than sharing Louisiana's statewide one, because the timing here genuinely differs from the rest of the state. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

What DuckCast watches upstream of Northeast Delta

4 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Greenville, Vicksburg, Monticello, Stuttgart. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.

Locations stay generalized

Hunter reports for Northeast Delta are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
