This club consists of 400 acres in rice on the west side of Interstate 5 and north of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. This area experiences high water in the winter months, toward the end of the waterfowl season, and proves to be the hot spot for ducks and geese. The blinds and club property do not actually flood out.

We are in the process of replacing the four blinds on the club and expect to have it ready for action by October 30, 2004. This club will bring back some memories for the old time duck hunters, like me, because of the old style contour checks. If you like Big Honkers and a lot of action you can't beat this location. The geese really work this side of the valley and you won't be disappointed.

The rice harvest has been completed and the ground disked. The flood-up started Monday and we should be at total flood-up in about one week.
