With it's close proximity of the Japanese current. Kodiak Island has a very mild
maritime climate. Kodiak has allot of open water long after the mainland of Alaska
has frozen solid.   The fresh water on Kodiak rarely freezes over until late fall or
early winter. Usually going through freeze/thaw cycles that often just help to
concentrate birds.   The salt water around Kodiak Island never freezes except in
the head of some protected bays with large amounts of fresh water. This makes
The Ugak Bay area a great travel destination for early migratory ducks such as
mallards, northern pintails, widgeon, green wing teal & gadwall. Many of which
never go any farther south. Also large numbers of harlequins, one of the most
sought after waterfowl species in North America. The distinctively
marked;blue-gray harlequin spends most of the year in Alaska. Many harlequin
winter in Ugak Bay. Other salt water species found in Ugak Bay include barrows
goldeneye, common eider, king eider, common goldeneye, bufflehead, surf scoter,
black scoter, white-winged scoter, oldsquaw and red breasted mergansers. All
these birds are available throughout the season. Which opens October 8 and
closes January 22. Duck hunting can easily combined with Sitka Black tail hunting
along with salmon and halibut fishing any time after October 8. Rick's favorite
hunting areas are brackish lagoons and backwater bays around Ugak Bay.
Hunting these areas, provides a great mix of fresh and saltwater birds, either over
decoys, pass shooting or jump shooting. Like all areas in the USA non toxic shot
is required. Heavy shots like Bismuth work well, but are not a must. We all know
how disappointing steel shot can be at times.   There are plenty of opportunities to
shot. Because of stricter airline weight restrictions of 50 lbs. per luggage piece.
Shotgun shells can be easily purchased in Kodiak. Cy's sporting goods carries all
shot sizes and types.   AAA River Inn has a good selection of neoprene chest
waders, which provide warm waterproof protection against the elements. A good
camouflage, rainproof water foul jacket is a good thing to bring with you.   For a
great one of a kind duck hunting experience. Plan a day or two of prime duck
hunting on your Fish Kodiak Adventure. All you really need to bring is your 12
gauge and you are set. Whether for fun or to bag that hard to get specimen to add
to your collection. LET'S GO SHOOTING!
