And I've never been there. We have a mudboat blind. Any suggestions of where to go? I'm most interested in getting some canvasbacks.

Several weeks ago we were shooting limits of canvasbacks every day within 15 minutes. But I haven't seen a single one since. Fork is big, so they could be somewhere but none o my sources are seeing them either.
Only tip I'll disclose to you: ditch the blind. You won't have much luck fooling those birds from any type of boat blind. They have seen it all. I you strictly want a can hunt clay banks and points forget the coves.
We have had a better season than last few... which is surprising because we have way fewer birds. I have entire lakes that I hunt that would allow for 3-4 hunts a week.... zero for the year. Nada

When we did hunt Fork we usually hunted north of Coffee Creek Landing off 2966. Never really saw many CBs back in there but quite a few gaddys, woodies, and some mallards.

As low fence stated, ditch the blind, this late in the season they'll flare 80 yards away.
Find a hard bottom and just hope you're lucky, from what my friends have told me, Can numbers are lower than what they shot last year. Still tons of mallards but I think they've only shot 8 cans this year and they hunt about 4 times a week.
Little caney, birch, and glade are my go to areas. Should give you a good idea of where to go

Listen to Low Fence and others like him. Cans and other divers are mostly main lake ducks. Puddlers will be in the creeks. Exceptions to both rules. We don't have the ducks here on Fork this year for several reasons but especially because we don't have vegetation. With that being said, you can't kill them on the couch. Good luck.
