I'm told that the printed angling regulations are now available.

Water continues to drop and is clearing.  Reports of fish being taken along the shoreline in this area.  If we don't get anothr rise in water there should be some fish around this weekend.

24th April 2012

Rain over Sunday/Monday has taken the river into flood conditions.  Lots of  trees and old shore ice among very dirty water, so the fishing has come to a halt for a few days.  I would hazard a guess that excluding any more rain water levels should be back down by Friday or Saturday.

20th April 2012

Still many a fish to be found.  Local guides claim that this morning was exceptional\.  I went out at 2PM for and hour had tied into (5), ( 3) of them good size (34-36")  salmon, saw several others taken in this pool by sports. (Blue Smelt).

19th April 2012

Turned into a decent day, all three took fish all day long fishing from the shore.  Total by 5PM  7 landed, 5 or 6 hooked & lost and a number of short strikes.

18th April 2012

Cold night, water temperature dropped, water was up and a bit dirty so - slow fishing, bit of a wind which made it cold on the water.  Evening, beautiful, water temperature came up and fish showing, boat in front of the cottage took 5 in 1/2 hour, largest 32" salmon.  Lot's of fish showing behind McCarty Island, not taking well.  Fly of choice "Black Ghost".

17th April 2012

Water may be up a wee bit.  Fishing in this area has dropped off somewhat, still a few being taken.  Morning produced better, saw several boats taking fish by the cottage  Went out for about an hour this evening, struck three and Wendy landed one.  Checked with passing boats, same story.  Typical spring fishing.

Slowed a bit, but still out there.  This group wasn't much of a threat :)

15th April 2012

Great day and a nice way to start the season. Lot's of fish. 
You literally cannot throw a fly in the water in this area without coming up with a fish.
Reports from Blissfield of "strong fishing" lots of big fish.

13th April 2012

Two days to the official opening.  We are seeing some fish but the water is low and there is a fair amount of weak ice along the river banks.  We can put boats in but the water is very low and clear .  Unless you are running a jet motor it is going to be difficult to navigate the rapids. Canoes and small motors will probably be best suited.

Picked up fishing licenses, no regulations available, which seems to have turned into the normal DNR practice. DFO states that the rules & regulations imposed last year will continue this season in terms of salmon.
