Nothing worth fishing for the rivers mentioned. try the eastern tributaries.

Out East no good, water fast and high Duffin's to port hope, only one decent looking spot where the water was reasonable clear but I will not mention where.

Need to wait a few more days at least looks like. Major skunking this morning out east.

Looks like they called off the snow for Friday. I'm more worried about the effect of the snow on the ground melting throughout the week, they were only calling for 1mm of snow so that wouldn't have much of an effect. I'm heading down to a cottage in Southampton on Friday and ill be fishing the Saugeen and Sauble on sat and sun. Looks like its going to be a beautiful weekend, and if the water happens to clear up a bit the fish should be feeding like crazy after being in the dirty water for so long.

On a side note, if anyone can provide some insight on what flies to use that would be great. My current roster consists of a number of roe imitation flies, pink worm flies, some wooly bugger variations, a few leech flies with a red circle on the end giving the effect of a leech eating an egg, and a yellow minnow imitation fly. I am also thinking about heading up to the fishing store tonight after work to pick up a few large pink flies.

Ill be running these on 7lb tippet as the water is pretty dirty, ill also have 3.5lb on hand(i cant remember what the X is for these).

All in all im reasonably optimistic and excited to get out this weekend.
