The Rural Voice, 1993-09, Page 52Bruce's lakes, rivers provide fishing opportunities
Surrounded by Lake Huron on one
sidc and Georgian Bay to the north
and cast and with major rivers Iikc
the Saugccn and Saublc running
through, Bruce County is a mecca for
fishcrmcn.
Walkerton, site of this year's
International Plowing Match, is in
the heart of Saugccn country. Come
fall, the Saugccn River is filled with
fishcrmcn seeking rainbow and
salmon, but it is a popular fishing
spot year round.
Brook, brown and rainbow trout,
small and large mouth bass, pike and
muskic and coho and chinook salmon
all offer challenge for even the most
experienced fisherman. Lon
Falkingham writing in Trout Canada
magazine says the largely native fish
population is smart, especially the
older, larger veterans and test the
fisherman's patience and skills.
The Saugccn is a great challenge
to fly rod fishermen since it has 22
species of mayfly, 22 of caddis and
11 of stonefly keeping fishcrmcn on
their toes to constantly monitor
conditions.
Falkingham says the 2.8
kilometers below the Truax Dam,
right in Walkerton, can take a whole
day to fish properly.
Over on Lake Huron the rewards
can be even larger than the fish
caught with fishing derbies along the
shoreline. Kincardine hosts a May
fishing derby with major prizes for
the winners with the largest salmon,

trout and walleye. Proceeds from the
derby go to support the operation of
Kincardine's brown trout hatchery, a
part of the fish enhancement and
conservation programs to replenish
stocks in Lake Huron.
In July competitive fishermen are
involved in the Chantry Chinook
Classic, which just celebrated its 10th
anniversary. The event is hosted by
the Lake Huron Fishing Club, a
group of avid conservationists who
have been raising salmon and
stocking streams from a hatchery in
Port Elgin for several years. The top
salmon can win a boat, motor, trailer
and fishing gear worth $20,000 for a
registered fisherman who catches his
prize-winner between Point Clarke in
the south and Oliphant on the Bruce
Peninsula. There are also prizes for
the top trout caught.
Of course every veteran fisherman
has his or her own secret spot on one
or another or of the dozens of streams
that flow through the Bruce County
hills. That information they're
keeping to themselves.0
