Saugeen River, ON fishing update.
Posted on February 6th, 2011Wayne Sheridan reports: Ice fishing is underway on most lakes right now. Action has been sporadic during extremely cold spell, but heats up as the temperature rises. Watch for the start of a warming trend after a period of cold weather. The best areas to ice fish are Lake Simcoe and St. Clair. Always check road conditions before heading to your favorite fishing spot. Snow squall off the Great Lakes can close roads quickly and leave you stranded. Always bring an emergency kit in case you get trapped in your car.
