Making a Reservation for Antelope Creek Lodge

The daily rate for Antelope Creek Ranch fly fishermen is $295 per person
Packages include all meals, accommodations, and access to all the ranch facilities for the anglers, and there is a two-night minimum stay.

Non-angling companions are welcome at a more modest fee of $165 per day, per person. The non-angling packages include all meals and accommodations, and options are explained in detail in the sample itinerary portion of this website.

While fine, complimentary wines are served with evening meals, guests are encouraged to bring their own beer, soft drinks, liquor, and mixes. Ice tea, lemonade, and unlimited bottled water is always available in the bar and kitchen.

The Antelope Creek Lodge experience is designed for a maximum of eight anglers, and we generally limit the total number of guests to that number. Four couples, with wives not fishing would translate into four anglers, four non-anglers and the maximum of 8 guests. Of course there are many combinations that accumulate to a maximum of eight.

For special occasions, large families, and groups, Antelope Creek Lodge can be expanded to accommodate up to 16 guests, using the Michalak family's private residences only a stone's throw from the lodge. Rates for these groups and families can be discussed and will be based on the number of guests, length of stay, and amenities/support staff required.

Less than two hours north of Redding, Antelope Creek is 5 hours from San Francisco, and 4 from the Sacramento International Airport. The distance is not imposing and the drive is generally a scenic combination low-traffic freeway and highway.

Reservations can be made as far as two years in advance, and many summer holidays at Antelope Creek Ranch are arranged that far ahead. The fishing season is from mid-May through mid-October.To make a reservation, please give us a call at 800-669-3474 during business hours any day of the week.

After a verbal confirmation of your reservation you'll receive a short confirmation letter showing the dates of your stay, terms of the booking and an invoice showing the cost of the trip. A 50% deposit is normally due 6 months before the trip is scheduled to begin. Final payments are due 2 months in advance. Deposits and final payments can be made with either a credit card or check.

In order to comfirm reservations made more than 6 months in advance of the trip, a good faith deposit of 25% is required within two weeks of the verbal confirmation.
Deposits are fully refundable, less a $100 service fee, if cancellations are received more than 90 days in advance of the scheduled visit. In the event that reservations are cancelled within 90 days of the scheduled visit, they are non-refundable. However, in the event that we are able to find replacements for those cancelled dates, the entire deposit, less the $100 service fee will be refunded.
