Guides

Hi, my name is Chris Gearhart and I\'ll be your guide. I am fortunate to be able to fish some of the best waters in Northern California. Whether you want to chase Steelhead that come up our rivers in the fall and winter or spend the day on one of our small Central Valley streams catching the Wild Rainbow Trout that inhabit those streams, there is a destination for you.

2 Gorgeous Lakes and 2 Freestone Creeks. Monster Trout!  A truly special vacation experience!
Fly fishing at its best! Nestled in the quiet Manton Valley of Northern California’s picturesque Shasta County, you’ll find Twin Creeks Ranch, home to Bailey Creek Lodge. Only 45 minutes east of Redding and Red Bluff.
Cool, crystal clear waters bubble up from the base of majestic Mt. Lassen, then tumble down the mountainside for many miles to form Bailey Creek and neighboring Rock Creek. As the streams flow towards the ranch, they are fed by several spring systems, affording incredible animal and plant life. Anglers at Bailey Creek Lodge will enjoy easy access to Bailey Creek, which has open paths, shaded pools with native trout and very little streamside brush.
The secondary waters of Rock Creek offer a more rugged terrain amid large rocks and trees – this one is for the more adventurous angler. In addition to Bailey Creek and Rock Creek, two trophy trout-filled lakes await you.
You will have this exciting Fly Fishing Paradise all to yourself! There is no public access!

In a whirlwind of fish and water, the world of fly fishing hooked me when I was just twelve years old. Since then, I've taken every chance to travel the world, fly rod in-hand. Most of my fly fishing life has been spent chasing wild trout all over the western United States, to famous trout waters across California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. There is something truly magical in throwing a dry fly to a rising rainbow and stripping streamers for big browns and jaw-dropping runs of steelhead.

If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing fly fishing experience, you’ve come to the right place. At Hot Creek Ranch we offer clean, comfortable house keeping cabins right on the stream. We are the only private fly fishing ranch open to the public anywhere in the area. Hot Creek Ranch has been located in Mammoth Lakes since 1948.Let us share this wonderful experience with you and your family or friends.
