Steelhead Fishing on the Dean River

Dean River steelhead don't fool around, they crush flies, they torch drags and they will bury you into your backing within a blink of an eye. This is a special run of fish, arguably the hardest fighting strain of steelhead found in British Columbia. If you’re looking for superstar steelhead, you’ll find them on the Dean.

Our steelhead fishing combines guided fishing below the Dean River canyon with self-guided fishing above the canyon. Explore the area on ATV and guided jet boat and get ready for BC's hardest pulling steelies!

Chinook/King Salmon Fishing on the Dean River

Chinook salmon move into the Dean River each summer making for a wild salmon fishery like no other. From an angling standpoint, there are only a couple of ways in which Dean River chinook are different from Dean River steelhead – they’re bigger, and they’re more powerful!

If you're looking for the ultimate salmon on the fly experience book one of our Dean River Chinook Salmon Packages.

Lodge Facilities: Our lodge is nestled in the woods of the Dean River delta. Stunning views of Kimsquit peak are had right from our courtyard, and accessing the Dean itself requires just a 10-minute walk through the trees. Guests stay in comfortable rustic cabins with running water, comfortable beds and fireplaces. Cabins house two anglers, and one cabin provides lodging for four angler - perfect for a group of four that would like to ‘stick together’ during the week. The clubhouse provides a lounge filled with comfortable couches, a wood stove, fishing pictures and a fly tying area.

Why The Dean River?: There are few rivers in the world as famous as the Dean. A mecca for steelhead anglers from around the world, the Dean offers spectacular steelhead fishing and epic chinook/king fishing. Its a place were big, chrome, hard-fighting fish are more than willing to take a swung fly! Combine that with incredible guiding, service and cozy cabin accommodations and you've got the world's most perfect steelhead package.

Our Unique Fishing Program: We've combined both guided and self-guided fishing for your Dean River fishing adventure. Access the Dean below the canyon aboard jet boats with professional steelhead guides and then explore the Dean's upper stretches by ATV and enjoy self-guided fishing. Fishing techniques are predominantly based on swung flies with two-handed rods, for both steelhead and chinook salmon. Single-handed rods are used as well. For chinook salmon, all fishing involves sinktips. For steelhead, sinktips and dry lines are used.

Travel Logistics: Guests travel to our Dean River location via Vancouver and Bella Coola, BC. A flight from Vancouver (not included in package price) will have to Bella Coola on BC's central coast. From there a short charter flight (which is included) will fly you directly to the famous Dean River airstrip. On arrival at the Dean, guests and luggage are loaded into trucks for the very short drive from the airstrip to lodge. Guests unpack, have a quick meal, and have the opportunity to get a few hours of fishing in on the arrival day.

Chromer Hosted Dean River Fishing Trips: Exclusive to Chromer, our hosted trips to the Dean are special ones that included in-depth spey casting clinics along with the usual epic fishing the Dean offers anglers. These packages will also offer some exclusive pricing for Chromer clients. Check our blog or send us and email for more information on our annual hosted Dean River fishing trips.

Gearing Up For Your Trip: Weather on the Dean is very unpredictable. No matter when you visit, be prepared for highs in the 80s and lows in the 40s. July is typically the warmest month, with cooler temperatures in June and August. Most guests fish with double handed rods, 9-10 weights for chinook/king fishing and 7-9 weights for steelhead. A quality large arbor reel is a must and a variety of sink tip lines and flies should be in every serious angler's arsenal. We do lots of steelhead and salmon fishing at Chromer so just ask and we'll make sure you're geared up right.
