Nicholas Dean Lodge is nestled amongst the majestic coastal mountains near Terrace in British Columbia. The mighty Skeena River and its tributaries form the major arteries which fork through expanses of old growth forest and steep valley walls, making for spectacular backdrops. Nicholas Dean Lodge is strategically positioned, allowing anglers to take full advantage of the Skeena system that boasts some of the world’s strongest runs of large wild steelhead and salmon. Each year, steelhead, chinook (kings), coho (silvers), sockeye, pink, and chum salmon ascend the Lower Skeena from the Pacific Ocean and join the trophy trout and char that reside in these rivers all year round.

Nicholas Dean has recently moved its accommodation to Pioneer Lodge which provides anglers with a dedicated fishing lodge with comfortable and cosy surroundings. Guest accommodations are comprised of comfortable and relaxing log cabins or apartment-style suites. The cabins are designed to accommodate two people with minimal intrusion and disturbance. Each guest will enjoy their own private bedroom with a deluxe double bed and quality linen.
There is an airy lobby area with drink making facilities and a covered open deck with seating for those who wish to relax al fresco. Apartment suites offer similar amenities as the cabins in one large, spacious room. Meals are taken in the main dining area of the lodge, a nice spacious room with high vaulted ceilings and a great place to enjoy good company and a few drinks reminiscing over the day's events. The lodge has a newly renovated heated dry/wader room where you can leave your fishing gear and clothing ensuring that it will be totally dry the next day. Wireless internet is available for all guests.
