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
Cheers
Ken

Fishing report
No fishing reports to speak about. We are deep into the freeze!
I'm going to be at the first ever Walkerton Sportsman show this June 4,5,6 Th.
Anyone with an interest in the outdoors and what the Grey/Bruce area has to offer in the way of retailers and outfitters should plan on see the show!!
http://www.thesportsmenshow.ca/exhibitor%20info.htm
I'm not going to bore you with the house situation,although I don't have much else to talk about these days.
I've had a fair response to the Mailing list in my last post.. this invite goes out to anyone with any interest in what is going on in this area. Yes, it's about fishing, but I do add some local events and things to see and or do.
I'll keep posting when I can, with any luck and a lot of hard work,we'll be back to normal within the next couple of months.
Cheers

Fishing Report Nov 04 2009- Dec 15 2009
We are deep into winter now. The rivers are frozen or very close to it.
I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts, Val and I are very busy with trying to get back on our feet with this house. We've hired an architect, Neil Pitcher from Markdale. He's an amazing person,as is his wife Janet. They have help so much with the "what and how" it has been a real treat to work with them. To date we have had to replace our septic, it was far too small for the house. We've upgraded our Hydro service to 200 amp and taken it underground, the tornado had removed the overhead line from out transformer. We'll be picking up our Building permit Friday,and will be moving back to Mount Forest for a month or two.
So, the apology is for two things, first, my preoccupation with other things leading me not to be as diligent as I should with my business. Second, ( this is for clients that had booked me this year), my not being as focused as I have been in the past.
The next few months will be hectic to say the least, but it will end. We will be warm,safe and dry with any luck before the spring. I look forward to being comfortable with our situation next year and will be very focused on my guiding.
Again I thank all of you for your understanding.
All the best for the holiday season
Ken
BTW, I did have a reasonably good fall, Steelhead, for the most part had been taking smaller flies on the swing.. then winter hit... don't you LOVE winter????

Fishing Report Oct 06 2009-Nov 04 2009
Welcome Steelhead!!!
Rivers are in great shape fish moving in and good
numbers of fishing on every trip.
numbers of fishing on every trip.
I'm having a great fall, enough said!!
My new fly patterns have been working
pretty well, and it's great not to use an indicator.
This is Carl and his son Jake, had them out today, not the best weather, but that didn't
seem to bother these first time Steelheaders. Carl
got this fish to eat on the swing in the first hour
of our day. Pretty good start.
If your looking for a great fly fishing for
Steelhead experience, give me a call or drop an
Steelhead experience, give me a call or drop an
email, I'm busy but I'll find time to get you out!!

Fishing report Sept 10 2009 - Oct 06 2009
Let the Fall season begin!!!
Water levels in most rivers are on the way up!! Temps are on the way down!! With the full moon fish are moving into the rivers.
The Saugeen is 52.9 and the fish are on the move... quickly!! I'm finding most fish in fast water, and they aren't staying long.
The season looks good thus far, with more rain in the forecast and colder night temps you should be calling or emailing me for a booking.
Lots to do before the snow flies, on the house.
I've got some new fly patterns I'm working on. I've decided to get back to the old standard patterns I've used for years, why change when they work??? Good question.
I'm rally looking forward to being out on the rivers this fall, the trees are turning right now and are just incredible!!
Happy Thanksgiving
Tight lines
