 fly fishing for brown trout cowichan river

Cowichan River fishing boasts steelhead and trout including brown trout. Some say it’s  the finest trout stream on Vancouver Island and one of the best in the whole province of British Columbia, and we agree! This is due to the unique ecosystem and abundant insects and crustaceans. While summer water levels and temperatures usually don't allow for Cowichan River fishing in July and August, you wouldn't want to fight the tubers floating down the river in the summer anyway. Thankfully, the other three seasons are fruitful for both the recreational angler and the hard core passionate anglers! You don't have to be an expert to enjoy Cowichan River fishing, but we recommend a hiring a guide that knows the river extremely well, as the Cowichan River has it's secrets.

The Cowichan river fishing is open to fly fishing in the upper portion from the weir on the Lake Cowichan to the Mile 66 Trestle. Be warned the rules and regulations for this river change from time to time!
