For brown trout fly fishers in Ontario this last weekend of August heralds what many consider to be the beginning of the end of the season. But those anglers who feel that way are the ones who think the glass is half empty because we have another month of great fishing left ! At the risk of sounding like an eternal optimist, it is worth noting that the cooler weather we have had in Southern Ontario this summer combined with the rainfall we have experienced (I know, don’t get me started) has set us up for what could be one of the best autumn fishing seasons in years. I was speaking with one of the better fly fishing guides in the province about this the other day and his sixth sense has him firmly convinced that we will see an “Indian Summer” this fall – and I for one am hoping he is right ! If you have not experienced fall fishing in Ontario you should get out a map and start planning a weekend now. Brown trout season is open until the end of September but the steelhead fishing in this province is incredible so do yourself a favour and book a fly fishing guide to make sure you get into some fish. Better yet, book a drift boat trip on the south Grand, the Maitland, the Saugeen or the Nottawasaga – it will be some of the best money you spend this year !
