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.
The Docks Go Out Today on Lake Francis Cottages Rentals, South Bruce Peninsula
Bass Fishing-Lake Francis Cottages
Today and tomorrow will be busy days. With some help, we will be putting the docks in at our Waterfront Cottages. This consists of a 30 ft. extended dock and an attached floating dock for your relaxing and tanning pleasures. It allows you to have sun all day long and is also a great way to dock a boat. Many Sauble Beach Rentals, cottages for rent in and around The South Bruce Peninsula, Georgian Bay and Lake Huron area may not be able to have this type of dock because of the waves off shore. We will use an ATV as well as man power to put these in. When it is done it looks so inviting and ready for the summer months that are right around the corner. The lake is very clean and the Bass are in sight. This weekend I am sure my kids will be out fishing trying to catch the first Bass of the season. Of course they will catch and release. This lake is absolutely a Great Bass fishing spot. The weather is getting better everyday which also means I am going to put my Baltimore Oriole and Humming bird feeders out so they can nest on the properties here on Lake Francis in South Bruce Peninsula. Well, better get going or I will never get this all done!

- Serenity at the lake
Whether you have cottages for rent in the South Bruce Peninsula area; Sauble Beach Cottages, Georgian Bay Cottages, Lake Francis Cottages, Wiarton Oliphant, Port Elgin or Southhampton spring is a very busy time of the year. With this winters snowfall it seemed to bring a substantial amount of tree branches to the ground. Thursday we had a fire going down by the lake to burn the larger ones after they had been cut into smaller pieces. The sky was so blue and it seamed to fall into the chrystal blue waters of Lake Francis (South Bruce Peninsula). You could smell wood in the air as the robins were in search of materials for their nests. The calmness of a waterfront cottage is very serene. At night as the sun goes down you can see the fish jumping and the loons begin to say good night. When you look across the lake as it gets dark all you will be able to see is the stars , moon and a glimpse of flames along the shore line. Everyone is out sitting by a camp fire so in the distance you can here the sounds of laughter. The quietness is something you long for after a hard days work or when your on a Ontario family vacation.

Piping Plovers Nesting South Bruce Peninsula; Sauble Beach
Piping Plovers bird watching
Sauble Beach became even more a very Special place in May of 2007 with the discovery of a pair of Piping Plovers nesting. Thirteen year old Brendon from Metcalfe Ontario spotted the adult pair at the north end of Sauble Beach. A keen birder Brendon identified the birds immediately as being Piping Plovers. They have a black collar and a black band above the white forehead. The bird is highly endangered, the last time it was found nesting anywhere in Southern Ontario was in Oliphant 35 years ago. The nesting site had an exclusion fence to keep gulls and other predators from eating the 4 eggs. The first chick hatched July 3 but disappeared but the remaining chicks hatched on July 5 and were banded 12 days later. Let’s hope the chicks survive adulthood and that the Piping Plover will continue to make the Sauble area its home once again!
