Saugeen River Guide Service.
Walkerton-based fly fishing guide service for steelhead, trout, bass, pike, and musky on the Saugeen River.
The brief.
Saugeen River Guide Service runs guided fly fishing trips on the 108-kilometre Saugeen River through Grey and Bruce Counties in Ontario. Lead guide Tim Fischer is based in Walkerton and was raised along the river, focusing the operation on a single watershed rather than rotating between systems seasonally. Target species include wild brook trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike, musky, and spring and fall steelhead. Trips are offered as drift boat outings or walk-and-wade sessions, with introductory fly casting lessons available for first-time anglers. The service caters to all skill levels and structures days around individual goals.
