Big Runs

The Lower Dean River that we fish at BC West – the mile and a half section between the canyon and the river’s mouth – has some really big runs. The one pictured above is called Ross Island.  Fishing the whole thing thoroughly will take you at least a couple of hours.  It tends to…

Dean Chinooks – Top 5 Encounters

If you’ve heard much about the Dean River, you’ve heard that its anadromous fish are hot, strong and aggressive.  If you’ve heard much about Dean River Chinooks, you’ve heard that they’re just pretty much insane.

What It’s All About

You want to be in this picture. Photo: Alfie King It may not be cover-shot worthy, but we think this picture says an awful lot. Dean River. Two-handed rod.

The Clubhouse

Relax. Our guests at BC West often get their nerves frayed by the crazy steelhead and chinook salmon that call the Dean River home, so it’s pretty important that we provide a place where folks can relax. That place is our clubhouse. It’s a nice large cabin with comfortable couches, pretty pictures, a wood stove,…

Really Fresh Prawns

Working at a remote fishing lodge like BC West means that your culinary opportunities are somewhat limited. You can’t just jump in the car and head out for a fine dining experience or even go to a grocery store to pick up something tasty to cook at home. With that said we do have some…

Sub-Tidal

Sub-Tidal, where the scenery’s acceptable too. Photo: Paul Reid Any angler that has pursued anadromous fish has heard or spoken of “fresh” fish – salmon or steelhead that have recently left the salt for the river and are not only brightly colored, but strong, aggressive and resilient.

Our Food at BC West

Soup’s on. Photo: Belinda Miller We’re really proud of the food we serve at BC West. Our small size (maximum of 5 to 8 anglers depending on the week) enables us to put a lot of care into the meals we serve.  We have a fantastic team in the kitchen, and this is one place…

Our Facility on the Dean

The 7 Best Things About Fishing Self-guided on the Dean

My name is Andrew, and I like driving ATVs. Our fishing program at BC West is fairly unique in that it combines guided fishing on the Dean below the canyon with self guided fishing on the water above the canyon.  This format isn’t for everyone, but if you’re the type who enjoys help from a…
