Saugeen River, ON Fishing Update.
Posted on October 15th, 2010
Wayne Sheridan reports: The leaves are changing colors and this is a great time to take a drive in the Grey-Bruce. Chose a nice sunny day and enjoy the drive. We have noticed that everything is about 2-3 weeks behind normal for this time of year. Fishing opportunities are picking up, with many fish making their spawning runs up the rivers. We caught and released this nice brown trout while fishing the Saugeen River. We found that they were holding in deep pools. We lost a few larger fish, but we both will continue to chase them.
