Hey guys I was wondering what zone the st.marys in sault ste marie would be under. I think its under zone 14 but im not sure. I'm going up that ways next weekend for an open house at sault college and i'm thinking of bringing my fly rod for a little adventure

Zoom in on Detail #1, I'm guessing that is where you will be fishing.Zone 14 http://www.mnr.gov.o...rial/241288.pdf

If it's your first time there I strongly suggest you put studs in your wading boots if you haven't done so already.  Also wear a wading belt and use a staff or stick to help you keep your balance when crossing.

 

The current there is no joke.  Good luck.

especially this time of year. my buddy says still lots of snow up there so the water is at freezing temps. not the place to mess around thats for sure.

It's a beautiful system.  I can't believe how clear the water was when I was there last summer.

What CJR and leakywaders said is no joke. Bodies come out of there every year and some just disappear completely Use care and common sense.

It is a great river and has great fishing. Like any other large river it needs to be respected.

Thanks for all the tips guys I wasn't planning on fishing the main rapids tho. I dont have much experience fly fishing water that fast so I'm thinking of fishing some of the smaller tribs that come off the st.marys near little lake George.

If you're thinking of those tribe make sure you check the regs carefully. There are several sanctuaries to protect the spawn as well as many areas covered by the reserves. I. Was there this past weekend and not much was happening in the rapids yet. Still too cold and most area tribs are still frozen over. Another week or two before things ramp up. Just my opinion though.
