Grey-Bruce County, ON Tributary Update.
Posted on September 10th, 2009
Wayne Sheridan reports. Finally, the weather was absolutely fantastic for the Labor Day weekend. The warm weather allowed many people to get out and swim, walk, camp and fish. Action has been a bit of a challenge with low clear water in most of the rivers of the Grey-Bruce. Salmon are starting their runs up the Saugeen River and most of the other rivers. A good rain will bring more of them in. With the weather changing, be careful of fog in low lying areas at night and early mornings. Chad went fishing on the Grand River this past weekend and reported that the fish were feeding on isopods, crane fly larva, micro caddis emergers and blood worms.
