Spring Steelhead Opportunities with Nicholas Dean Lodge

There's a few open dates for the Spring Steelhead Fishery at Nicholas Dean Lodge in Terrace BC.

This trip is a great introduction to some of the most aggressive spring fish in the world, as well as a perfect trip for the experienced angler. On the multitude of river's available , you'll swing large bugs for some of the largest steelhead of the year. Since these fish are of the same year class as of the 2010 run, this could be a run that we'll talk about for a very long time.


You'll also get to fish some of the coolest, most intimate coastal streams. Some of these rivers don't require a long cast or a huge mend, and can offer some of the largest fish of the year.



You'll stay at the Yellow Cedar Lodge, a spectacular facility located on the banks of the famed Skeena,just West of Terrace. Along with the gourmet cooking of Red Seal chef Alf Leslie, The lodge features a mixture of private single and double bedrooms, a bar and games room. It also includes a lounge, gym and cardio equipment room, sauna, hot tub, wrap around porch, and a large dining area and bar for sharing daily fishing stories! This is possibly the prettiest lodge in Northern BC.



Here are the available dates for this spring:
-- April 4 to 10

-- May 1 to 7
-- May 8 to 14
