With the 2012 trout opener now on the horizon many anglers are starting to think about digging their gear out of the basement and figuring out what flies they need before they hit the river – and we are doing something similar. In preparation for the opening of our new Fergus fly shop on the banks of the Grand River we have placed custom orders with local fly tyers who are intimately familiar with local patterns. These flies will be available at WILSON’S in the coming weeks and if you are not sure what you need to start the season off on the right foot check out the Ontario hatch charts in the members section of our website. If you are not aware we have hatch charts for the following Ontario fly fishing destinations on our website at no cost:

- Beaver River
- Boyne River
- Bighead River
- Connestogo River
- Credit River
- Forks of the Credit
- Grand River
- Mad River
- Noisy River
- Nottawasaga River
- Pretty River
- Saugeen River
- Whiteman’s Creek
