Fishing report August 1 2013
Well Well.. after last nights rain..I woke up early to check flows.. just in case my booking for today needed to be re scheduled... and yes.. yes it did. The Saugeen is on it's way up, not a big surprise being we had 2.5 inches of rain in 12 hours.. With luck.. fingers crossed.. I'll be back on the oars by Tuesday..
My August is almost full, a nice change from last month.. with the high water and low bookings.. it allowed me to get some more done on the house. We will have a full Kitchen by mid August and will be almost back to normal by Sept. Working on a few new projects and am looking forward to sharing it with you! thanks for check in once and awhile...appreciate it!

fishing Report Summer 2013
Had a good chat with a very wise gentleman today..glad he gave me some straight advice!
So, here we go.. been a good season so far, plenty of Smallmouth and Musky happy to eat the flies we've offered. Last year at this time the water was very low and crazy warm.. what a change from last year. We've had more high water events than I can remember. Great new for the fish and watershed!
We've been busy on the Saugeen, and looking forward to August as it's booked pretty much completely.
With the levels and temps, we should find a new "Ontario Drift Boat guides" Best this year. Had a very Large Musky to the boat... and as I grabbbed the leader to guide it into the craddle.. this giant opened it's mouth and fly just slid out... you want to talk about a huge mood changer in the boat!! But that being said we rose well over 15 good Musky that day between Brent and his Brother Ryan.. both good Pike anglers with fly gear.
Looking forward to October when they come back to seal the deal!
Just recovering from some knee surgery.. still sore and stiff but happy to back pulling oars! I still think in the week I was off, I gained like a hundred pounds! I'm getting rid of that quickly and am very happy to back in the best office in the world.
Our house is so close to being done.. can't wait to get back to the "old routine" and have more time to post blog reports and get out for some great day's with friends and clients. Been doing a good mount of guiding this year.. and looking forward to next year.
Thanks for checking in..

Fishing Report Sept 4 Th 2012
Still very Low water conditions, have seen a few Salmon moving through the lower river, like 4-5??
Upper Section is again at a stand still, never seen the river this low with little or no flow. Has me worried.
Middle section is really low, but semi clear and full of guy's that feel it's okay to take as many fish as they want...
Lower section has been good, still stained and water temps are getting back up to low 80's mid day.
I'll keep you posted on river conditions..
On another note, while waiting for a Client on Monday... this ass hole with a C.T. spinning rod comes up the stairs at Tim's in Walkerton. Asked me how I'm "do'n" and jumps on his bicycle with a 3 foot long stick with 2, 4 inch rainbow smolts on the stick.. Jesus, these fish had to be the smallest things I've ever seen. The sad thing is he was so proud!!
Really!!

Fishing Report August 2010
Low, Low,Low..
This has been a really tough year on the Saugeen. Not for Fishing but for the fish. Guided the Paisley section Yesterday, I'm seeing structure I've never.. and I mean Never seen before. Water temps have finally dropped, thank god for the night time temps.. all we need is a week of solid rain and we'd be back to maybe normal levels. Saw a Big Chinook move through a riffle yesterday... gotta wonder how long before those fish get so stressed they just give up.
The lower river sections are really stained up with algae, it's 50/50 dead and alive so the river has a nasty Brown/green color. Fish are still able to find our flies and we are getting some good fish on Cray's ,skinny clousers and Hex nymphs. Not mush for top water action, maybe one fish every 500 feet give or take.
Musky are in much better shape with the low 70's temps, had a great day with a first timer with the big flies yesterday. Landed two good fish, in the 36-40 inch class, Nice work Paul!!
Still seeing Hex's coming off, nothing in any numbers and fish seem to have keyed off the spinners and Dunn's.
Just weeks until Fish able numbers of Steelhead are in the river... keep checking back for updates on the run this Fall.
Cheers
Ken

Fishing Reports
In typical Chandler form, I've left this way too long...
Been great Year for bookings, best year ever to be honest. I'm still working away at the house, but am getting closer everyday to living here.
The spring season was short lived, and now we are in the heavy part of summer with little rain, super low water conditions and very very warm water.
Have had some good days and bad days, luckily more good than bad and even the bad weren't that bad... always getting fish, maybe not the size or numbers but fish is fish.
I've purchased a GoPro Hero two and have been taking Video of some clients catches, and will get them up after editing, which seems to take forever..
I'm already booking Trout trips for 2013, and my fall is filling up nicely, looking forward to some cooler weather and higher river levels.

Fishing Reports November early December 2011
Been out fishing with clients a fair amount even with the high water. We have had some fantastic days with almost no other anglers around. Still swinging flies with good results.
The Bighead has been off the chart with fish.. It's amazing that little river get soooo many fish.
The Saugeen in every section is fishing well now that water levels are dropping to 11.
I am still offering trips and also Gift certificates for the "hard to buy for anglers "in the Family..
I've been doing a fair amount of Filming with the Mad fisher Dudes, I'll have a few commercials ready for the website soon!!
Wanting to know whats going on in the Saugeen??? I'm a pro staffer for Fishhound, Fishhound.com. I do weekly reports on conditions. Just type in Saugeen river Ontario.
Have a great Holiday
Looking forward to seeing my clients again in the New Year

Fishing report Fall 2011
Just an FYI, I do regular updates on "Fishhound" for the Saugeen river.
It's been a great fall season, lots of fish on the swing. With the current heavy rain and cold temps we should have a new bunch of fish entering the systems.
I've got openings for the fall season, give me a call or drop and info request on the web site if you're looking to get out.
I'll be at Hook, Line and Sinker this Saturday doing a tying demo , I'll be tying Musky flies and talking about the Joys of Guiding!! Too funny!!
Hope to see you

Fishing Report August 2011
Finally some much needed rain, although not sure if it will be enough to change levels in the upper Saugeen and other headwaters. I'm still not doing any trout guides in this area, but with the cooler nights, I may have to do a quick "drive around" and temp taking.
Bass and Musky/Pike have held up pretty good this year. Good numbers of fish and some heavy smallies around...
On another note, I feel for the residents of Goderich and surrounding area. We got hit 2 years ago with an F2 (200km winds), nothing compared to an F3!!
If you can spare a few dollars please help them out, you can't believe the hassles these people will face with the insurance company's..not many people carry wind insurance.. let alone know that they should like us.
Cheers

Fishing report August 2011
Man, I hate August!! The levels in the Saugeen headwaters are so low! Some sections have no flow.. still water!
The Middle section has been avoided like a bad case of crabs!! Too much pressure for my liking!
The lower section is great, good temps in some sections, great top water and big streamer action.
Have had many great days. Hooked the biggest Musky ever, lost it to a tree, landed another big big fish. lots of average fish, good to see. Looking forward to the guides coming up.
Got openings, still holding off on courses and trout fishing until we get some rain .
White t-shirt, average fish... Grey t-shirt 50 inch fish at 20 lbs!
Gotta Love Doug, he wasn't all that impressed until later!

Fishing report- July 2011
The rivers in and around Markdale have hit dangerous temps for angling trout. Water levels are at August lows and I wouldn't recommend fishing them.
The Main Saugeen (Bass and Musky/Pike)waters are at 80 + temps and fishing well. Flow is good as is Clarity. Been out on all drifts doing well.Had the Largest Musky of the year on yesterday. It was all the 10 wt could do to handle this massive fish. Unfortunately we lost it to a submerged tree.
Top water action has been slow on all drifts. We can use the rain in the forecast over the next 24-48 hours. I'll be on the river doing an overnight trip this weekend. Weather looks good, should be a fun weekend for these first time fly fishers.
August is pretty much booked up and I'm starting to book steelhead trips for this fall.
I've got some new Steelhead water I'm looking forward to fishing this fall.
Looking to get out for a true Steelhead adventure, send an email or call me and we can talk about the possibilities.
Cheers

Fishing report May 17th 2011
Not so much a fishing report but a rant!
So, I've tied up a new Mouse pattern and was headed down to the Rocky to try it out . Let me say this,I am so disgusted by the lack of respect for our natural resources. Yes, I realize fishing in this area is done mostly by beer drinking idiots that can carry a 6 pack in, but can't seem to find room to pack it out!! WTF!!! Not only beer cans but broken liquor bottles smashed right on the trail, worm boxes, cigarette butts..ya I smoke,but I rip the filter off and put the filter in my pocket until I get home and put them in the garbage..
So,I know that virtually everybody that reads this is a responsible person... not sure what I need to do to get people to be a little more environmentally sensitive...
Anyway, didn't try the Mouse.... I'll do it on another river.

Fishing report Spring 2011
Funny thing.... I'm not dead!! Yes, I'm still guiding and doing a pretty good amount of it!
In all seriousness, I'm still getting questions if I'm still guiding.. yes.. yes I am.
I've heard plenty of rumors and stories, some are pretty ugly. Not going to get into details,I'm okay busy with the house when I can fit it in. Val and I should be living in the house by July.
So, we've had a lot of high water, it's kept me off the river for a few days. Had some good trip and some bad trips, mostly due to conditions.I have this thing where I won't take clients out if the chances are slim.. so I don't.
The Brook tout sections of the Saugeen are heavily fished this year. Too many fish leaving in plastic bags, lots of garbage left stream side... gotta wander why the land owners are getting upset??
If I could ask for one thing... it would be to have all fishermen ask for permission before fishing private property.
I'm sure if someone walked through your back yard .. you'd be out in a heartbeat asking what and why the hell are you on my property?? Keep that in mind..although I highly doubt that most of the people I see are looking at my blog!
I've been lucky to have a few repeat clients out again this year, The most recent was Graham.
Graham is a "salt of the earth" kinda guy. You couldn't ask for a better person to hang out with for a day. He's a good caster, a great guy and a hell of an angler overall.
We've done a drift to get him some good Brown trout before, but this year it all came together.
The day started slow, we had a few fish come to the fly but not eat. That was until the sun went down a bit and darkness was just an hour away. Using streamers, I had Graham casting to heavy wooded structure. Deep pools with moderate flow seemed to be the key. At one section of the river I had some good success in,I warned Graham about "high probability" water ahead.. and it was, shortly after his second cast he hooked a Brown , I didn't see anything of the fish but did see the rod pound down and the obvious signs of heavy head shakes from a good fish.. then off. The fish was gone.. Graham being Graham.. looked at me shook his head and started casting again.. It wasn't too long before he set on another good fish. This one's bigger he said.. again a few head shakes and gone...
So, two big fish out of the same pool.. "we should go" I said.. find another pool that has a hungry fish.. not 20 minutes later he's into a fish of a life time.. This brown hit so hard and fast! Graham did everything right, it was great to watch as he landed his biggest Brown trout ever.
Good times, I'm still smiling about that trip.. I will for awhile.
On another note, I'll be at the Walkerton Sportsman show again this year.. hope some of you drop by and say hello!
Cheers
Ken

Fishing Report..Been a long time!!
Wow... I've been way too busy,or just too lazy..
To dispel some rumors,I'm still guiding!! I have not closed my business.I am still alive,although a bit beat up from building our house,an ugly shoulder injury(that will need surgery.. someday soon)and some weird weather patterns this year... lots of rain when we,(or I) didn't want it.
Yes, Fishing was pretty good, had a few guides that worked out this year. Met some really great people from all over the world. One thing that never stops amazing me,If you meet someone that fishes you have an instant connection, you meet someone that fly fishes... you have a fellow addict friend. I've had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman from Holland. His name is Pim. We spent a day trying for a Musky. This guy reminded me why I do what I do.To see the excitement in his eye's when we had a follow!! To hear him speak about that follow for the rest of the day!! The way his casting and placement of cast showed he meant business.. every cast was on the money!! We got some Pike but no Musky committed to our flies.
At the end of the day, I felt so good about having Pim in my boat. I felt good about what I did to get him into a fish he'd never caught..I just felt good... seemed to be a long time that I had felt good..
The house will be live able soon.I'll be able to focus on guiding again,with way more enthusiasm I'm sure.. Val will also be glad to be rid of me,if just for a few hours!!
I appreciate your patience and tolerance.
Look forward to seeing you at some shows this spring and on the river in 2011.

Fishing report July 5 August12 2010
Man, I wish we could get more high water!!!
Not really, but I've been cancelling guides more than doing them.
With any luck things are back to normal.. with the rivers.
I've had a second shot, this was right in my AC joint ... Ya, thought after the first one was so easy, I'd try the second shot to see if that is the area that is causing all the problems.
Well, that hurt like hell, was close to passing out after the needle hit whatever he hit!!
Had a hard time driving home from Brampton(they just don't have cortisone in the Markdale area???) 3 days later and pain was down to 40% not bad!!
So I've taken it easy, trying to let things heal,been feeling pretty good,might be a good time to try rowing again, it was... for the time we had been on the river... today not so much.
We had a great day with Musky, 6-7 came to the fly.. some huge fish too.
So, I'm still taking it easy and am guiding.
Hope to hear from you soon....
Just weeks before Steelheading...
Cheers

Fishing report
Okay, ready for the "low down???
Yes, I've been injured. My Pelvis/hip is much better, walking without the cane but still not doing back flips!! The shoulder thing continues to be a ..... pain!
I'm getting another cortisone shot on the 26 Th... yahoo!! The first wasn't much help.. hoping the next works wonders!!
Okay.. fishing,
The waters in this neck of the woods are getting hot... not warm.. HOT!!!! in Temp only. Most of you know I don't guide when water reaches the 70 degree mark. So Bass and Musky it is!! I'm able to do one drift a week, more than that and the shoulder is sh.t for 4 days. With said, the Smallmouth and Musky fish will be outstanding this summer!!!
So, if you've got something in mind,and want to spend a day with me on the river??
Drop me a line, we'll try to put something together... I'm really missing my regulars,it would be great to see you all again!!

Fishing Report April 2010 - June 03 2010
It's been a long time,sorry for that. I've had a few accidents that have put into limbo for a few weeks.
I've been out very little,the spring went to summer too fast, at last time I checked the rivers close by, are or had been in the 70 degree range. Some of you know that I'm not doing any guides with water temps in the 70 range.
With all the rain and cooler nigh time temps I should be able to get some guiding done. The Brown Drakes should be done on the Grand and just getting ready to start on the Saugeen.
I'm almost able to stand for more that a few hours, my hip is still bruised and I hurt badly when I cough.. but it's getting better.
I'll be at that Walkerton show this weekend, if you are around please drop by and say hello.
Thanks for checking in
Cheers

I'm almost able to stand for more that a few hours, my hip is still bruised and I hurt badly when I cough.. but it's getting better.
I'll be at that Walkerton show this weekend, if you are around please drop by and say hello.
Thanks for checking in
Cheers

Fishing Report
Again, Lots going on but no fishing for this guy.
I couldn't cast or hold a fishing rod right now. I've found out after an MRI that my ACL in my shoulder is done. I'll be seeing a surgeon in June to see what the next step is. My doctor has told me surgery is really the only option... she doesn't know me very well... I'll be guiding this year, I'll hold off on the surgery until next winter.
The house is coming together, working on the roof right now. I drive over the Saugeen everyday, it's one of the hardest things I do!!!
I'm sure when the season opens, I will find my shoulder is great.. I hope!! I'm booking up with courses and lots of guide bookings... I may even be able to afford the House.
I'm still not able to check emails everyday, we just had our Hydro hooked up.
Thanks for checking in,I do appreciate it
