We have just finished our 2007 Fishing Tournament. This was the biggest and best yet! We sold out for the second year in a row. We have pictures up on the Tournament 2007 page. Congratulations to Ron Turgeon, James Clarke and David Gray Jr. They ended up the top 3 fishermen. Congratulations to Aidan Smyth, winner of the kids division who barely beat out Zach Roughley.

| Atlantic Salmon To return to Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario will receive a massive restocking of Atlantic salmon in an attempt to return a species of fish to the lake that died out more than a century ago, it was announced yesterday.
Over the past 20 years, the province has added a number of the fish to the lake as part of a restoration plan, and over the next year about 400,000 Atlantic salmon will be released into three Lake Ontario watersheds.

| Sport Fish Survival Challenged
In Lake Ontario, monster lake trout keep anglers awake at night with anticipation. However, its primary source of food is threatened. The slimy sculpin is a 3 inch long, brown fish is threatened.
Without the thousands of tiny prey fish like the sculpin, the larger fish of Lake Ontario and other Great Lakes couldn't survive. And their numbers are plummeting, scientists say. To see the full story, visit The Fishing News section | |
| Brown Trout Hatchery
We went out with Andy McKee on Sunday November 13th to get our brown trout eggs. The storms held off and it was a beautiful day. Everything went like clockwork. The new easy loader trays from Scotty Downriggers was a tremendous help. They saved a lot of time. We now have 10,000 eggs in the river. You can see pictures and descriptions in our hatchery section.
The Upper Saugeen Habitat Restoration Association (Canadian Angling.com) is proud to announce the birth of 9,400 brown trout into the upper Saugeen River. We had our best hatch rate ever at 94% hatch and release! A warm winter dramatically improved our hatch rate. In the early spring, major floods (20 year high levels) moved the incubators down the river, however they hatched and emerged from the incubators safely. Mother nature is truly amazing.
We have now hatched and released over 35,000 wild brown trout into the upper Saugeen River over the years. A special thank you to Andy Mckee from the M.N.R., and the all the sponsors and volunteers, who have been fantastic in supporting our endeavors.
Thank You

Fishing was a challenge on opening weekend for trout. Two major floods on the Saugeen River during the winter damaged shoreline and moved fish from their normal feeding locations. A cold front Saturday also changed conditions. We hooked into a big fish in the campground on Saturday evening, fought it for over 10 minutes, but the fish won. Sunday we went out to Wilmer ponds and caught this nice rainbow fly fishing.
