Freshwater Flyfishing Adventures


Central Vancouver Island is a fly fishers paradise, where world famous rivers like the Cowichan and Stamp have drawn adventurous anglers for over a century. Island rivers support all five species of pacific salmon, wild and hatchery steelhead and resident trout. Coastal lakes are home to aggressive cutthroat, rainbow and dolly varden.

River Trout Fishing:
Spring and fall are the best times to fish island rivers. Insect activity and downstream fry migrations in the spring awaken resident and sea run trout. Fishing can be hot! Some streams provide excellent dry fly fishing through out the month of June. In the fall trout key in on the abundant salmon eggs. Fishing with various egg patterns produces great results.

Lake Fishing:
We provide pontoon boats or a 10 ft inflatable enabling us access into the hard to reach locations. Imagine sharing a pristine lake with your fishing partner and a pair of nesting bald eagles. Hiking into an alpine lake with a float tube and gourmet lunch is a day dreams are made of. Spring and fall is best. Winter cutthroat fly fishing is a challenging fishery for the adventurous. Island cutthroat can attain weights over 7 lbs.

Winter Steelhead:
We are offering guided steelheading on the Stamp River, which supports a hetitlehy population of enhanced steelhead. This is a wonderful fishing experience for any level of angler. Best December - April
