@@rickjanzen2180 thanks what part of the island do you do most of your river and lake trout fishing? I have a cabin beside qualicum and need spots to fish as I’m just learning fly fishing.

@@oscarlambert5566 I fish everywhere from Victoria to Campbell River for my freshwater fishing. I will sometimes, thought rarely go north the Port Hardy and Port McNeil, but most of my river and lake fishing is between Qualicum beach and Campbell River.
