The famous and beautiful Cowichan River is a fisherman’s paradise.  The Cowichan river starts from the town of Lake Cowichan and flows dozens of miles to the city of Duncan, making it one of Vancouver Islands largest rivers.  It is full of Brown and Rainbow trout, Salmon and Steelhead just waiting to take y0ur fly or lure.  This is one of Vancouver Island’s first class river, and has been designated as a national heritage river.

We offer drift boat guide service on the Cowichan River from October to April. From October to December we focus on Brown trout and rainbow trout.  By mid December to the end of April we target the wild steelhead in the lower river.  Cowichan river Steelhead are the largest on Vancouver Island!

A full day of guided fishing in our drift boat for up to 2 anglers per boat.  The day starts at day break, we meet at your accommodation and then transport you to the river.  We launch our drift boat and begin our full day of fishing on the river.  Some of the day will be fished from the boat and some will be from the river bank.  At the end of the day, we recover the boat, and drop you off at your accommodation. $350/day for two anglers.

If you are a solo angler and are looking to split the cost of a charter, please email or call me as we have quite a few people who would be willing to split the cost of a charter with you. ($180/person)
