Saugeen River, ON Fishing Report.
Posted on August 30th, 2010
Wayne Sheridan reports: This weekends warm temperatures will probably be the last heat wave for the summer, so enjoy the warm weather for the next few days. River levels continue to drop from their higher than normal levels for this time of year. Fishing has been good, but patience and time of day are the keys. Best bet for bass is top water lures in the early morning and late evening where deep pools intersect shallow marshes. Also focus on the Prime Fishing times.
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.
