Fishing Canada Part 2

We had a trip to Vancouver Island and fished a river there called the Cowichan. We got onto this place through two good fly shops one in Vancouver called Pacific Angler and one on Vancouver Island called Robertsons Outdoor store. Thanks to these guys we were placed on a river that had fish in it! We only fished for a couple of hours and landed no fish but I managed to hook onto 2 browns and one rainbow. Saw the fish they did some nice runs but I did not quite land them.
This was ok as I was returning all the same. The fisheries guys checked our licenses, rigs and flies! They were very detailed, but also helpful. Liam did go for a bit of a paddle in some water that was deeper than his hipster waders so he was rather cold. We then moved on to Whistler area for our next fish and I will report on that next time.
