Saugeen River Fishing Report.
Posted on August 7th, 2009Wayne Sheridan reports. Heavy rains on Tuesday have quickly raised river levels in southern Ontario. Some streams and smaller rivers are experiencing some flooding. Be careful around these streams and smaller rivers until they stabilize. Trout fishing is still very good in most of the rivers and bass fishing is still a little slow. Cooler weather still is hanging around, especially cool nights. This year will be remembered as the year that summer never arrived in southern Ontario.

We went fishing in the campground (Saugeen Cedars Family Campground), last weekend. We were down to our last piece of worm, when this beautiful big rainbow hit. The fight lasted about 10 minutes with my noodle rod bent in half and the reel screaming.
