Saugeen River, ON and area fishing update.
Posted on September 30th, 2013
Wayne Sheridan reports: The very heavy rains last Friday night and Saturday morning caused the river levels to rise dramatically, almost to flood levels. This has drawn the salmon into the rivers on the Grey-Bruce. It will be a great time to check out the salmon and the fall colours on the trees for the next couple of weeks. The salmon are also going up the Credit, Humber, Bronte, and other rivers, take the kids out for a nature hike. Check for them in deep pools that offer shade.
