Saugeen River, ON Fishing Update.
Posted on April 28th, 2011[singlepic id=2169 w=320 h=240 float=]Wayne Sheridan reports: Last weekend was the opening of trout season in many of the rivers and lakes in southern Ontario. High river levels made it a challenge for many fishermen however we did well on the Saugeen River catching and releasing 4 brown trout over the weekend. Fishermen in Owen Sound were doing really well last Thursday, Friday and until Saturday with salmon in the harbor. Best lures were small herring imitation Lyman lures and spoons. However high winds on Saturday made the water dirty and the fish went off the bite. With heavy rains this past week, fishing will be a challenge. Look for stable slower river areas to fish. Be careful of fast moving streams and rivers.
