Fly Fishing Package
With over a mile of the south fork of Battle Creek, Lassen Ranch has one of few wild private trout fishing streams in all of Northern California. Limited to catch and release barbless fly-fishing, our stream is managed to ensure the health and vitality of our wild rainbow trout population.
Fly Fishing the South Fork of Battle Creek involves both fast moving riffles and deep clear pools beneath waterfalls. Both dry and wet flies on light four weight fly poles. Also available is a stocked trout pond fed by a non-consumptive use from Battle Creek.
Standard size for wild trout from the Lassen Ranch section of Battle Creek is 6 to 12 inches with the possibility of an occasional 14-16-inch rainbow trout.
