Saugeen River Fishway Update

Denny’s Dam Fishway: Grant and the LHFC boys who manage the Denny’s Dam fishway have spent the summer cleaning out the fishway as it was jam-packed full of debris from the spring ice blowout. A contractor was called in to help with some of the stubborn pieces of debris. As of August 17th, the water in the Denny’s fishway and live fishcam are running again. The fall adult transfer is all set to go.

Walkerton Denil Fishway: Water is currently too low for assessing the Walkerton fishway. Jody from Owen Sound MNR will be updating the club on the status of Walkerton fishway at the annual fall derby in October.

Night Fishing Closed for October

Just a reminder: Starting today, October 1, night fishing above the south side of the old bridge abutments up to Denny’s Dam is closed for the entire month of October for salmon spawning in accordance with the Ministry of Natural Resources regulations.

Fisherman may begin targeting fish 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset.

For example: Today, sunrise was 7:25AM, so fishing is not allowed before until 6:55AM.

Please respect the regulations as they are put in place for protecting our fishery.
