Sydenham Sportsmen’s Association Release Rainbow Trout Into The Sydenham River, South Bruce Peninsula

Rainbow Trout-Georgian Bay

A 12 year old boy from Owen Sound helped the Sydenham Sportsmen Association  pour buckets of yearling Rainbow Trout into a tank to be transported to the Sydenham River and released.  Over 14,000 Rainbow Trout,  were grown in a fish hatchery. This is an ongoing hatchery program to stock our waters.  The club will also release more than 170,000 Chinook Salmon into the river in June. Ray and some friends every year rent a Charter with Action Fishing Adventure’s (Captain Tony), they go out on Georgian Bay and are able to fish and generally catch the legal limit while barbecueing and having some laughs. The Salmon Derby that is held in September every year  in Owen Sound brings many fishermen and ladies to the area to try their luck at winning the Grand Prize, a boat fully equipt with all the gear needed for the  next year. Here on Lake Francis we have Large and Small Mouth Bass and also Pike. This  is one of the very few lakes that has such Great Bass Fishing. In the spring we are very careful  not to  disturb the Bass beds. In return it allow us and others on the lake to enjoy this sport. Many property owners on Lake Francis as well as visitors catch and release. With educating the young and old with the environment it will keep are waters on Georgian Bay and Lake Francis clean and fresh for this type of entertainment.
