Grand River (Southwest Ontario, Canada)
Location: The Grand River is in southwest Ontario, Canada, about 2 hours from Buffalo, 3 from Detroit, and an hour from Toronto’s Pearson International airport. From its source, it flows south through Grand Valley, Fergus, Elora, Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Paris, Brantford, Caledonia, and Cayuga before emptying into the north shore of Lake Erie south of Dunnville, at Port Maitland.

The Upper Grand tailwater has a solid brown trout fishery, and the amenities to make it a favourite destination for trout addicts. The Grand flows through the quaint villages of Fergus and Elora, towns that provide the services anglers look for that greatly add to the fishing experience. The downtowns are dominated by old limestone buildings holding friendly pubs, numerous B&Bs, fine dining, and local specialty shops. Despite its proximity to the major population centres of Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener/Waterloo, London, Detroit, and Buffalo, the river is rarely crowded.
Constant flows provided by the Grand River Dam—commonly called the Shand Dam—allow insect populations to flourish. The cold, nutrient-rich water feeds an abundance of aquatic insects that grow fat trout. Big fish feed heavily on the surface during the day throughout the season. From May through September, there is usually some sort of hatch that brings fish to the surface every day.
