Local outdoors news
Salmon fishing in Owen Sound Bay is still reported as good. Lack of rain and flow in the Sydenham River has held the majority of chinooks out in the bay. Anglers trolling Lymans, Anchovies and Hotfish spoons are catching fish. Concentrate closer to the channel and edge of the "hole" as these fish are ready to leave the bay as soon as the river levels rise. Harbor anglers are reporting success as well. Casting Cleo spoons, Williams Wablers and still fishing with spawn are all producing some salmon for the harbor brigade. Concentrate on early morning and evening hours as the salmon are more active in low light.
Early Goose Season is upon us now. Waterfowlers who can find fresh cut crop fields are reporting great hunts. Large flocks of migrating birds have yet to darken the skies from the north, but the huge population of resident birds are flocked up and hitting the traditional waterways and fields providing action for the goose hunters. Early season wraps up soon and goose/duck reopens in local areas the following week.
Shop owner Drew Watson would like to remind everyone that it is NFL football season. Stop into the store for Watty's weekly pro-line picks. For a large timmies coffee, sonny is willing to spill his beans on the winning teams.
