I’m looking for info on where one might try fishing from shore near Dunnville - to catch some of the HUGE catfish (some well over 20 pounds) that should begin their spawning run into the Grand River quite soon (May/June).

Gotta love the town’s mascot:

I’ve caught a 15 pounder below Denny’s in the Saugeen at Southhampton…….. was quite the battle in the current - so I figure 20+ should be insane, and fun.

Cheers,

Just back from Dunnville yesterday. I brought the kids to the Byng Island Conservation Area for some water fun. Try a bit fishing on both sides of the fish ladder in the park. Fishing was very slow, not even a bite and didn't see anyone catching anything either. On the way out, we saw some guys fishing along on the bridge over the dam. I saw one guy pulling out a 10 lb channel catfish with just worm. One important thing to consider though, since the guy was about 30 ft above the dam, he dumped a net with a stone in it down to the water, and pulled it up with attached rope. Without this set up, I don't think he can pull the fish up without breaking the line, if not the rod.
