Spring is in the air and the Ontario Steelheaders / Lake Huron Fishing Club members started yesterday afternoon with their annual Saugeen River adult steelhead transfers. Just the first test lift yesterday. The trap was down for only two hours and 200 fish were captured and 150 transferred by trailer 40 miles upriver to the promised spawning grounds. The next few days will see a thousand trailered and thousands simply checked and allowed to pass through Denny’s Dam. What a miracle program…The estimated spring and fall runs now ranges from 40,000 – 50,000 fish.
