By Mike Gnatkowski | Waterfowlers associate diving ducks with big bodies of water. Great Lakes bays and estuaries, large reservoirs, Chesapeake Bay, Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie, and ocean coastal waters like Matagorda Bay are places where you’d expect to see diving ducks. But if you’re a diver aficionado and don’t consider smaller inland lakes, you could be missing the boat.
A good portion of the diving ducks migrating in the fall stay close to big-water shorelines, but roost in massive rafts in the middle. But a surprising number of divers use smaller inland lakes during the fall migration.
