When Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the gadwall peak here around mid January. This follows Louisiana's statewide curve; Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh hasn't needed a curve of its own. 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.
