The Grand River – Ontario – Streamer Smallmouth Bass.
“She (The Grand River, Ontario ) begins as a trickle near Dundalk, then dallies for a time above the Shand Dam before charging down through the Elora Gorge. This is classic brown trout water, some of the best found anywhere in Ontario.
Below that, smallmouth bass and pike call her deepening pools and riffles their home, and farther south still she changes again, enticing walleye and rainbow from the rich waters of Lake Erie.” *

In 1994, The Grand River and its major tributaries achieved the coveted status of Canadian Heritage River. Due in large part to the successful efforts of many partners, the Grand is also considered a world class fishery!
* Ontario Out of Doors – February, 1995
The Grand River near Fergus and Elora is a world class catch and release tailwater fishery which has some of Canada’s best Brown Trout fishing, whether it be with a dry fly, nymph, streamer or emerger.

Grand River Brown Trout are known for their selective nature as fishing pressure has taught them to use discretion in feeding.
It is quite an accomplishment to catch and release a 20″ fish though plenty abound!
