Ok, it's official, I'm addicted to catching cutthroats. Does anyone have a few tips for targeting these beauties? I am usually on Prospect and Elk Lakes, where I have caught a few, but I would really like to get a bigger one. I've heard the nanaimo lakes are good for them, but it's a bit of a haul for me to cross the malahat for a day trip.

Cowichan.....

Try sea runs..... that will get ya... A blast!

would like to try cowichan again, the only thing holding me back is the lack of reports from the area. If I am going to go up there and spend the day, I'd like to know how high the water is, if anyone's been catching and on what etc. Does anyone know of another site with regular cowichan reports? Or has anyone been there recently?
