The Lake Huron Fishing Club’s Kincardine Trout Hatchery is full of fish ready to be released. As you can see from the picture, our yearling rainbows are in good shape and just waiting for the river to warm up. There are approximately 62,000 fish ready to be trucked to the 3 release sites chosen on the Saugeen River for this year.



Approximately 1/2 the fish will be released at Lobies Park in Walkerton. 1/4 of the fish will be released at the mouth of the Otter Creek, east of Walkerton and 1/4 of the fish will be released at a new site (Saugeen River Campground) which is above the old hydro dam but below Maple Hill. 200 yearlings are destined for the public fishing pond at the Port Elgin Chinook Hatchery. The yearling rainbows are in great shape and growing well but they are currently costing about $100/day to keep so whenever the river temperature reaches 10 C we will be looking to start trucking. Ontario Steellheaders will be helping with the releases.
