Saugeen River, ON Fishing Update.
Posted on September 8th, 2010
Wayne Sheridan reports: the Labor Day Weekend was one of the wettest we remember on the Saugeen River and southern Ontario. This will increase river levels for the next couple of weeks and dirty the water. Temperatures are now starting to cool down after one of the hottest summers on record. Trout fishing continues to be best early in the morning, with fishing dropping off after the sun hits the rivers.
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.
