hen faced with the cruel decision The only place where The lodge sleeps eight in simple between fishing the upper or adventuresome anglers double-occupancy cabins and is known lower Dean River, anglers shouldn’t have access the best of both the for their incredible meals. Their season to choose. Each is unique and has much upper and lower Dean begins with a focus on kings in late June to offer. That’s why BC West offers guests and ends the third week of August. Rate: $7,295 plus tax per person for a 7 night/6 ½ package access to both; they’re the only operation that will get you fishing above and below the famous falls in the same program. BC West’s guests fish half their days guided below the falls via jetboat and the other half self-guided above the falls using personal four-wheelers to access prime runs. Equally impressive is BC West’s willingness to go the extra mile and create a splitday fishing program where anglers fish from dawn to lunch, then return to camp for a gourmet meal and a siesta before heading out in the late afternoon to fish until dark. By all standards, this is a rigorous and rewarding routine best suited to experienced anglers with an independent streak. Something worth working for; a large immaculate lower Dean River steelhead.
