Destination Travel
BC West and the Dean River 2010 -August
Hosted by Tom Larimer
British Columbia's Dean River is on the "Bucket List" for every true steelheader.
Problem is, it's very difficult to even get a spot at one of the river's few lodges. It's
so good people re-book year after year. However, next summer is your chance to
fish the Dean. I will be hosting a trip from August 7th through August 14th to
BC West and the incredible Dean River. Please join me on this amazing
steelhead adventure in the wilds of British Columbia.
Many folks would argue the Dean is the greatest steelhead river in the world.
After fishing it a number of years ago, all I can say is it's pure magic. The river
has a feel like no other place... Huge snow capped mountains tower above you
as your fly swings through some of the most seductive water you've ever fished.
Every turn of the river unfolds another breathtaking scene. Even the air up there
has magic in it. Everything about it seems to stimulate your senses.
All that said, what separates the Dean from all the others is it's amazing
steelhead. There is no other race of steelhead that equals the strength and
stamina of a Dean fish. The brutal determination of these fish is attributed to the
massive falls that separates the upper and lower river. The falls insure only the
strongest fish make the gene pool. Couple the strongest steelhead in the world
with the fact that you're fishing for them only minutes out of the salt water and you
get a recipe for some serious steelhead ass beatings! If you've never fought a
Dean River steelhead, their raw power and beauty will have you begging for more.
BC West is located on the lower river, downstream of the falls. The lodge sits in
a beautiful setting surrounded by massive glacial peaks. The accommodations
and staff are world class all the way. The charming guest cabins are comfortable,
clean and warm. A beautiful lounge building is perfect for evening cocktails and
sharing the day's events. In all my destination fly fishing travel, I have yet to find a
menu that equals that of BC West...
The food is out of this world!
Half of your time at BC West will be spend fishing out of a Dean River jet boat
below the falls. The runs in the lower river will blow you away. Pools like Tony's,
Cut Bank, Bills, and Archeological are the places dreams come true. The other
half of your week will be spend above the falls. All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) are
used to access the upper river. Once above the canyon, the lodge has
strategically place pontoon boats that allow you to access the other side of the
river. The beautiful pools of the upper river offer some of the best dry fly steelhead
fishing on the planet.
The cost of the trip is $6342.00 (US.) plus your BC fishing license. This includes
the helicopter flight from Bella Coola, British Columbia. We have only four spots
open for this incredible trip.
