Sugeen River, ON report.
Posted on October 1st, 2009
Wayne Sheridan reports. Finally some rain has helped river levels in southern Ontario. This has improved fishing in all the rivers and lakes. Lenny was fishing the Saugeen River this past weekend and caught a couple of nice brown trout in Hanover, below the dam. Tom was fishing the French River and action was hot with many pickerel caught with him and his friends. Southampton is a good bet for this weekend, with the salmon and a few rainbows starting their runs up the river. If you like sightseeing, the leaves are starting to change colours and it will be a nice drive in the Grey-Bruce.
