Starting on January 1st the ‘only’ fishing on the Saugeen is the waters from downstream of the abutments to Lake Huron. Please fish safely and always use common sense. Last year we lost one angler to the river when a 4 ft. surge of water swept him away, his body was never recovered (CTV News story). A few others needed fire department assistance. Common sense says to stay off the ice. Major problems occur especially when ice jams above Dennys dam break free, pour over the dam causing heavy ice flows as well very heavy flooding….AGAIN, COMMON SENSE! DON’T BE TRICKED!
