At Nicholas Dean you’ll have access to over 50 of the best rivers and lakes in the Lower Skeena region of British Columbia.
For more than 15 years, our commitment to the smallest details that make up the whole outdoor experience has become legendary. Imagine yourself airing out a long cast with your spey rod on one of the Kalum River’s best runs for trophy steelhead, or skating a dry fly across the tailout of a boulder-studded pool on the Copper River, known for its aggressive steelhead. You can also tackle the giant Chinook of the Skeena River, fish of over 60 lbs. that can melt a reel with line spooling runs, or sight fish for acrobatic Coho as they take your fly in a large arching swirl.
Picture yourself in the shadow of towering, snow-capped mountains and untouched coastal rainforests, where bald eagles lazily soar and grizzly bears still roam free. At the end of your day, savour the gourmet, home cooked meals provided by Jezz and Pip Crosby at our partner facility, Pioneer Lodge, while sharing your day’s stories over a glass of scotch with a few friends as you relax in the comfort of first class accommodations.
Because the Skeena River and its tributaries receive such diverse runs of fish, we are able to offer a number of different packages to meet your fishing preferences and a variety of budgets. Spring steelhead and Chinook, summer steelhead and salmon, fall steelhead and trophy Coho are but a small selection of the packages available at the lodge. And, if you want to “rough” it, a camp set up along the banks of the Skeena River provides anglers with a quality fishing experience in the heart of the wilderness at an affordable price. Whether fly fishing or conventional fishing is your preferred method, trust us to put together a truly unique outdoor adventure.
And, when you and your significant other are ready for some non-fishing activities, you’ll discover ample recreational challenges—from white water rafting on the Copper River to hiking the coastal BC mountains, sea kayaking, wildlife viewing, helicopter tours or exciting mountain biking.
