Cowichan River - June 10th, 2004

FISHING: Fair
Fishing was SLOWER this past week. The water level is holding steady at 0.4 meters and the river is very easily waded it’s whole length. It’s way too low for drift boats. Water color and clarity is good. Best success now is coming in the late evening and just after sunrise. The insects are still hatching and there has been good activity for fly anglers on the river. Fly anglers have been reporting good success with March Brown, Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear and Prince nymphs, with or without bead heads. Black Wooly Buggers have also been good for the larger Brown trout. Some nice trout have been taken on dry lies as well. Spin fishermen can get some trout action on Len Thompson spoons, Roostertails, Blue Fox and Mepps spinners upstream of Skutz Falls and below the 70.2 CNR Bridge.
