Recently, my husband and I stayed three nights at the Haig-Brown B&B. I took up fly fishing not long ago and I read as much as I can on the subject. I fell in love wtih Roderick Haig-Brown's writing on fishing and many other things and discovered his house on the Campbell River had been turned into a B&B/museum--we had to go. When we arrived, Catherine greeted us with tea and cookies and began telling us stories about the Haig-Brown family, his conservation work, his writing, and his fly fishing. She took us into the family library, where Haig-Brown wrote many of his books, and she sent us down to the river to see where he had spent many hours fishing. Catherine responded to every question we asked with knowledge and good advice--we followed all the tips she offered and enjoyed every single one. The breakfasts Catherine made and served--bacon, eggs and potatoes, or home-made granola, berries and yogurt, or her sinfully delicious fresh out-of-the-oven scones-- set us up for our days of adventure. By the time we left, we both felt we had a new friend. We hated to leave, so we vowed to come back. This place and its host deserve the absolute highest rating--we would recommend it a thousand times! read more
