Fly Fishing Trip - Sugar Creek Ranch
Unbelievable Fly Fishing Experience with Bayside Adventure Sports!
October 20-22, 2017
The Ranch:
Sugar Creek Ranch offers unrivaled still water trout fishing in an intimate setting. Those who have experienced Sugar Creek Ranch at its best over the last 20 years will recall the property's unique 114 acre landscape with its tailing piles of river rock dug up from the adjacent Scott River during the gold mining days. When the gold miners broke through the water table, these eight picturesque ponds - mostly hidden from view as small jewels in a rocky desert - started bubbling up from newly exposed cold-water springs. This cold, gin-clear water provides ideal habitat for the mammoth rainbow trout that call these lakes home. Sugar Creek itself winds through the property and each lake further infusing cool, oxygen rich water into the ponds. Fishing is simply majestic during the fall season.
The Lodge:
The Sugar Creek Ranch Lodge is a wonderful place to call home after a long day's fishing on the ranch. The second story of the two-story lodge boasts 3 bedrooms, two of which share a full bath, while the master suite includes its own private bath and balcony. 6 guests can sleep comfortably between the 3 rooms and there is plenty of space for larger groups to set up roll away beds or cots.
The main floor is composed of a modern kitchen, spacious living room and sunken reading room. The grand fireplace keeps the lodge snug and warm during the cool fall evenings. The cozy atmosphere is a perfect.
The kitchen and BBQ are ours to use. Refrigerator, dishwasher, pots, pans, microwave and stove are all available. Bring your own food for the weekend and/or take the opportunity to dine in one of the unique restaurants in Etna.
Travel:
Travel The Scott River Valley is nestled among the Scott and Salmon Ranges in Siskiyou County. Take Hwy 5 to the Gazelle-Callahan Rd. travels up a steep, winding mountain valley to the pass just east of its junction with HWY 3 or you may choose to travel through Yreka on HWY 3. It is a wide, well-maintained roadway adding a mere 15 minutes to your trip. Detailed directions and address will be provided. We highly recommend carpooling as there is limited parking at the lodge.
Unbelievable Rates:

Fishing Access, Recommendations, Regulations:
Float tubes may be used in the North Ponds, Lone Bear and Twin Deer, but really aren’t necessary as access is abundant from the shore and there is ample room to cast. The other ponds are small enough to be fished from shore. No regular boats or motors are allowed. Waders & Boots Waders and Boots are not needed when fishing from shore. Please do not wade in the edges of the lakes. You may have to get your feet wet when landing one of the larger fish, but otherwise try to avoid wading.
Fishing Sugar Creek Ranch operates under an aquaculture permit which allows guests to fish without a CA fishing license. Fly rods of 5 and 6 weight are perfect for these large, hard fighting rainbows. Nine foot leaders tapering to 3x,4x and 5x will get the job done. Carry spools of 3x, 4x, 5x tippet as well.
