Saugeen River, ON Tributary update.
Posted on April 22nd, 2014
Wayne Sheridan reports: The Spring melt is now definitely underway. We went up to the Saugeen River on the Easter long weekend and the river has now crested and is slowly coming down. There is still some snow in the forests and hillsides that needs to melt. River levels are still very high and very fast and this will prove to be a challenge for this weekends opening of trout season. The river banks will be very slippery on the weekend, so be very careful. With the long, extremely cold winter, everything is about 1 month behind.
