Saugeen River, ON Update.
Posted on December 29th, 2009
Wayne Sheridan reports: Lake effect snow squalls keep coming off the Great Lakes, causing hazardous driving conditions in the Grey-Bruce area. Ice fishing has started on some of the shallower lakes with Lake Simcoe reporting perch fishing has started. Lake Simcoe Ice Conditions: Gilford Side 8-17 inches, Virginia Beach 6-14 inches, Big Bay Pt 6-12 inches of snow and ice. Be careful around river and lake shores, ice will form on the banks overnight and snow will obscure river bank edges. Best bait is minnow lures as most of the minnows have gone to their winter hibernation locations and single egg presentations. Everyone at Canadian Angling wishes you a Happy New Year.
