Grand River Ontario Hatch Chart

The Grand River in southern Ontario is often boasted as being one of the best brown trout fly fishing rivers in Ontario. Many of us would beg to differ on that point, but it remains a very popular destination for fly fishers. The flow of the Grand River is regulated by the Shand Dam. There is an abundance of insect life that flows through this bottom draw dam year round, so the trout in the river are well fed.

Upper Credit River Hatch Chart

The upper Credit river has been know for decades as a premiere fly fishing stream. Over the last decade or so, pollution has caused the decline of a number of important insect. The Green Drake is the one species that has suffered the most, and it is only present in a couple of short sections of the river now.
