Just a heads up went up to bayfield, nothing really going on yet. Maitland we heard of some coming up river but did not fish it as goderich is recovering from the tornado and many places were inaccessible. Hopefully get up for september long and have better news.

Got a report there was a large rainbow escape from fish farm on Manitoulin and they are slaying fish there. Eventually these fish will be in Gbay and Lake Huron and should provide action next spring.
I was at Ganny last weekend and there were salmon visible up river but only in small numbers.
Keep your fingers crossed for more rain

I live in the area. I know the site says tons of fish have run, but I have walked every inch of the river above the dam and its low and clear haven't seen a salmon moving above the dam. It would be hard to hide the number of fish they are claiming have run. I think the sensor is right by the camera, if you watch a fish go by they swim back and forth in front of the camera fighting the current. In turn I believe the sensor might be counting the same fish more then once. I have watch the same fish fight the current and go back and forth over 10 times. so what looks like 100 could only be 10 or less.
If you think I'm just trying to stop people from coming up, i'm not . Feel free to drive up and look for your self.

i have been watching it and notice the same thing,
but im not 100%, but i think they count the fish going up, the count the fish that go back down. eg 123 went up, 70 went down=53 fish that have not returned to the ladder..
i think it works that way...

Their there......Lol
The water is too low in the Bayfield right now to attract any Salmon. There isn't a run of Salmon in the Maitland either. The Geen always has fish this time of year, but if you wish to see a lot of action you should head east to Lake Ontario and fish the Niagara or almost any west or eastern tributary. The lower Lake Huron tributaries are and will be a waste of your time until we get a huge rain.

I agee. I was sight fishing on the Maitland and didn't see any Salmon at all. The water was pretty low and clear as well. This was on Sunday.
