Saugeen River, ON Fishing Report.
Posted on August 11th, 2010
Wayne Sheridan reports: The hot summer days of vacation for many have arrived. This means fishing with family members. Remember to have everyone in the boat properly equipped with floatation devices and make sure that they are wearing them. It only takes a second to accidentally tip a boat and everyone is suddenly in the water. When wading into a river, currents are extremely fast and the gravel bottom is slippery. Do not go into dangerous river flows for any reason. With the hot summer, many have switched to night feeding or very early morning. Focus on these times to fish. Bass will hold in deep cooler pockets of water and feed near sunset and sunrise.
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.
