Any guesses how long before some maskless trumpanzee POS blasts a huge hole in this sign? I had a few made but only risking one sacrificial sign to see if it survives. The people that own this property are our neighbours, really good people. They let us walk our dogs on the property. Lately, seems we’ve found out what happened to all the toilet paper that was sold out early this year. People ( using that term loosely) are brutal. Beer bottles broken, garbage and crap tossed on their property. Makes me angry and sad.

These are trying times, but I’m starting back up with Covid-19 measures in place. I’m limiting to lessons and Walk and wade trips. Contact me here for further details and open dates.

Good news for all missing the Saugeen conservation areas. Let’s keep up the social distancing.

It official everyone - all River access points on the Saugeen River are closed as per Bruce County effective immediately. Stay safe and Healthy.

Helping the Conservation Authority to spread the word. Stay home, stay safe!!

Bells lake boat launch, crappy picture but there is no way to access the lake. The parking area has a trench at least 2 feet deep and the blocks in front of the trench. I have no problem with the blocked access, to be honest I’m not taking bookings until this Covid-19 virus is under better control.. if it ever will be. Better to stay home and not risk adding to the problem. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Another COVID-19 update: Hello everyone! In the midst of this COVID-19 outbreak, Saugeen Conservation would like to remind everyone that all of our properties ...(including Conservation Areas, forests, wetlands and lakes), still remain closed. We realize that fishing season is soon upon us and that anglers are eager to get outdoors, however, your welfare and safety remain our main concern. This also applies to camping and to those excited about getting back to their seasonal trailers or reserving campsites for the summer holidays. We realize this is not easy, however, we will be sure to let you know when our properties come back on line again. Our sincere thanks for your patience and understanding.

Clearly.. some douche bags don’t understand what I was trying to do.. one station taken, this was hit by a vehicle. WTF!! This station is at the end of South St in Walkerton. It’s less than a block from the high school. If it was students.. well, that sure doesn’t say much for the future of our planet!

As tears roll down my cheeks..

2 handed Spey casting lessons are exhausting!!! Or.. I’m officially old.

All that needs to be said....

It's been a 4 year process, but we now have a official "adopt an access program in place for Bruce county! Thanks to Kerri Meire at The Bruce County roads department and the Saugeen fisheries Task force, these garbage / recycling stations will be at all Saugeen river access points. The stations are "sponsored" by local company's or individuals and maintained by volunteers. There is absolutely zero money from tax payers to fund and maintain the stations. I'm very proud to have designed and built/installed the first And can't wait for the next!

Long day and out of materials.. The hard stuff is figured out! The first one is always the hardest. I'll try to finish tomorrow after I get more materials.
