Fly Fishing with Clearwater Lodge

Clearwater Lodge is a full-service fly fishing destination, offering meals, accommodations, guiding and instruction on northeastern California's five great wild trout rivers and spring-fed stillwaters. These waters include Fall River and Hat Creek, the two spring creeks, and the Pit, McCloud and upper Sacramento, freestone rivers with pools, pockets, riffles, and runs. In addition, there are several smaller streams as well as superb stillwaters that we fish regularly. Clearwater's guests can choose from a wide variety of fishing options, including walk/wade, raft, jonboat, and drift boat trips.

 

Energetic waders enjoy the challenging wading and high catch-rate on the Pit River. Guests who prefer easier wading feel at home on Hat Creek, Burney Creek, and some of our smaller streams. Fall River is fished from aluminum jonboats with small motors. It is totally flat, with no rapids or riffles. At the other end of the floating spectrum is the Pit River near the lodge, which we float in specialized rafts. This float combines great fishing with mild whitewater, solitude, and great scenery. Another great boating option is the Lower Sacramento River in Redding. Many Clearwater guests fish the Lower Sac with a Clearwater guide the day they arrive at or depart from the Lodge.
