5 Cool Things About The Dean

We think the Dean River is a pretty darned cool place.  Here’s why.

1. The Takes. Crushing, searing, heart-stopping, drag-melting, 15-pound-Maxima-popping, uncontrollable, violent, I-can’t-believe-what-just-happened takes.  The way Dean steelhead eat a fly is insane.  This is the coolest thing about the Dean.
2. The Scenery. It’s just one of the most beautiful places in the world.  Tall peaks, glaciers, big trees, fjords, lush forest and sunny days are all standard fare here.
3. The Runs. Big tailouts, bouldery glides, fast riffles, deep tanks, dropoffs into buckets, deep inside bends…if you appreciate quality water you’ll find a lot to love here.
4. The Wildlife. Bears, eagles, deer, wolves, and birds of all sorts.  It’s a pristine environment and the critters are living proof.
5. The Vibe. Everyone on the Dean – anglers, guides, lodge employees, local residents, even the BC River Guardians – knows how lucky they are to be here, and that all adds up to a simply great vibe.
