The Maitland at Goderich is a strong, less-crowded Lake Huron steelhead river with spring and fall lake-run rainbows, autumn chinook and resident browns. Limestone-and-clay water that colours quickly and fishes on the drop, it's a productive Huron-shore alternative to the busier Saugeen.
Under the surface
The Maitland reaches Lake Huron at Goderich and runs strong spring and fall steelhead with chinook and resident brown trout. A limestone-influenced river of riffles, runs and clay-bank reaches, it colours readily after rain and fishes on the drop — a productive, less-crowded alternative to the Saugeen on the Huron shore.
