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
Ken
