Guests are asked to time their arrival for the late afternoon (3:30 P.M. or later), allowing plenty of time to get settled, organize tackle, and be ready fish after dinner. The lodge host, housekeeping staff, or chef will show you to your room, and offer a quick, informal orientation. The evening meal is intentionally served promptly at 5:30 to allow anglers time afterwards to enjoy the evening hatch activity on one of the lakes or stream.

The fishing at Bailey Creek Ranch has been tailored with the self-reliant angler in mind. It is particularly suited for the fisherman that prefer the sense of accomplishment associated with a well-earned bend in the rod rather than the hand-held, guided experience. That said, guides can be provided through The Fly Shop for an extra charge for added instruction or assistance fishing on the lake or stream.

While 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 outdoor refrigerator.

The lodge is located roughly in the middle of the property, with lakes and stream both above and downstream from the accommodations. The creek and the lakes are yours to fish whenever you wish, and all of the fishing is within walking distance of the lodge.
Dinners are very good, by any standard. The well-trained cooks prepare hearty, family style meals, served in an informal atmosphere that marries well with the whole Bailey Creek Ranch experience. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the ranch amenities whenever they wish

Breakfast is served at 8 or 8:30 depending on the group and the season. Coffee is ready at first light and there is no hurry to be the first on the stream or either of the lakes. The buffet lunch is on the bar at noon every day to allow for a very full morning and afternoon of angling.

Non-fishing companions have the run of the entire ranch.

Within an hour of the ranch is Lassen National Park and another 1⁄2 hour will bring you to Subway Caves on Hat Creek. Add 20 minutes more and you find yourself at Burney Falls State Park, and in between is the Radio Astronomy Observatory. Other non-angling guests may simply choose to relax in the lodge, play a game of billiards, enjoy the shade-covered deck and patio, or lounge beside the pool and Jacuzzi.

Guests are asked to vacate their rooms after lunch (to allow them to be properly cleaned for any arrivals) and to depart no later than 3:00 on the afternoon of their last day at the lodge.

A few points to remember:

There is poison oak on the property and poison snakes are around, but almost never seen. The lodge is a non-smoking facility and guests are welcome to enjoy cigars or cigarettes on the deck or anywhere outside the lodge on the ranch. This is a fire-prone area, so please be very careful with ashes from cigarettes or cigars.
