| Bailey Creek bubbles
out of two beautiful spring heads and tumbles down through a canyon
for only a few miles and then across Twin Creeks Ranch.
The riffles and pools of the
freestone stream are filled with fish and covered with a canopy
of alders, streamside bay trees and oaks. Bailey Creek is
a gorgeous stream and as it courses through the ranch it seems to
cascade into pool after pool with some riffle sections in between.
This stream is incredibly rich in aquatic insects and the health
of its rainbows and browns certainly testifies to that. We don't
know of a stream anywhere that has more trout per yard than Bailey
Creek. The relatively low elevation, rich spring water & temperate
climate translates into a long growing season, and fast-growing
fish.
There are also two fabulous lakes on the property. The upper
lake has some giant bass and scores of bluegill, while the lower
lake has some monster trout that are often measured in pounds rather
than inches. With spring-fed currents, the lower lake especially
stays ice-cold all summer long and boasts remarkable hatches of
mayflies, damsel & dragon flies. Both lakes can effectively
be fished from shore, but one can float tube them with great success
as well.
Bailey Creek Lodge is an ideal vacation spot
for couples, small groups, or even families. The upstairs
spacious lodge room has a warm, welcome feeling, enhanced by the
open fireplace. It is the perfect spot to end each day and share
stories over a glass of wine and fine food. This great room is topped
off with a deck that looks down onto the creek. Each of the four
downstairs bedrooms has a private bath, and they are all in close
proximity to the pool area and Jacuzzi, both of which sit right
by a huge lawn area and look down over the creek. This wonderful
ranch is just the spot to enjoy easy access fishing for some remarkable
trout, with great amenities for after fishing relaxing.
Bailey Creek Lodge is right in the heart of our regional fishing
and within easy striking distance from Battle
Creek, Rock
Creek Lake, and Lake
Christine.
