Fly fishing the Grand

[mistaredone]

I have a buddy flying in from the East coat and he wants to do some fly fishing on the Grand river up near Elora. I'm totally not a fly fisherman by I'm going to give it a go. We are heading out this Saturday but looking at the forecast we might get 10mm of rain. Will this blow out the river or stain it to the point it's not worth fishing? Like I said I have little to no stream fishing experience. Any advice would be appreciated.

It may blow it out, but it will clear up quickly, depending on how much water they let out of the Shan Dam at Belwood. Lots of good browns in there to keep ya busy.

Great info thanks. Is there a site that tracks dam openings?

[mistaredone]

Ok, I found a site full of info that makes now sense to me lol so I'll just find out the old fashioned way.

You'll be fine man. I suggest sticking as high up the river as you can if rain is coming. It should fish well tomorrow morning for sure.

Google Larry Mellors, he is the Grand River trout Guru. It might be a little late notice but if he gets your email he will bend over backwards to get you onto the fish. He sells at Proctor Marine during the summer as he teaches and has summers off, he may be there, give him a call at the Marine as well.
