Fall is an exciting time for anglers in the Municipality of Kincardine, as trout make their way up the local rivers from Lake Huron to prepare for spawning. This seasonal migration brings fish closer to shore, making Kincardine’s pier and rivers good spots for trout fishing. Anglers of all skill levels gather here, hoping to reel in the prized rainbow or brown trout as temperatures cool.

Supporting this vibrant fishery is the Lake Huron Fishing Club hatchery, a volunteer-run facility that annually releases around 120,000 yearling trout into Lake Huron and its tributaries. The hatchery’s work helps maintain the trout population in surrounding areas, ensuring sustainable fishing for generations to come.

Whether casting from the pier, along the riverbank, or fishing in open water from a boat, fall fishing in Kincardine offers anglers a great chance to connect with nature while taking in the stunning scenery this beautiful town has to offer.

If you’re coming to the area, one of the closest and best tackle shops to check out is Junction 4 & 19 right up Highway 9 in Walkerton. They offer a fantastic selection and have plenty of knowledge about the local waters, making them an excellent resource for your fishing trip.
