Saugeen River, ON Fishing Report.
Posted on August 2nd, 2010
Wayne Sheridan reports: Heavy rains have increased river and lake levels in many southern Ontario locations. When the river or lake is cloudy, slow down your presentations as it will take longer for the fish to react to the bait. Remember to look for areas that the bass will ambush their prey from. For bass, is a lot of fun to use top water lures near sunset. For trout, the best bet is to hit the water before the sun rises. Once the sun hits the water the fish will shut down and go into hiding.
The USHRA/Saugeen Cedars Family Campground Fishing Tournament will be held September 11, 12, 13th, 2010. Planning has now started, please contact Pat Hawksworth at Saugeen Cedars.
