Water Conditions: ??Bailey Creek Lodge is now open, and the big lake has been fishing great. The fish are very healthy after the past winter, and eating midge and streamer patterns like they've been hungry all winter! The trout in the creek are looking very healthy, and have been slurping dries most evenings...we'll even finally get to cast to them starting this weekend.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: ??Two excellent lakes (one trophy trout lake and one lake with monster bass), and lodging with wonderful home-cooked meals, pro billiards table, and a new pool/spa area -- make Bailey Creek Ranch a relaxing getaway for the serious and the not so serious angler. This is one of Northern California's Premier Private Ranches.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??Only 45 minutes from Redding, Bailey Creek Ranch is the perfect get-away for the family, or the small group of anglers.
