Fishing influences the use of the Bay by waterfowl. This sport is extremely popular during the fall months and the passage of boats through the Bay is often a source of considerable disturbance. On very calm days waterfowl of all species present tend to gather on the open waters of the lake. This may reflect a preference on their part or it may be the result of disturbance by the generally increased boat traffic under such conditions.
