From the cozy confines of Clearwater House you can fish waters of the Pit River, Fall River, Hat Creek, McCloud River, and upper Sacramento River. All you need now is top-notch guiding, excellent dining, and fine accommodations. That s where Dick Galland, founder of Clearwater House, comes in. He and his staff will do everything possible to make your stay and fishing as good as possible. Oh, that s right the fishing, the fishing! What appeals to you? If it s #22 trico spinners to a #4 sofa pillow, on the flat water of Hat Creek to the free-stone pockets of the Pit River, both water types and hatch variety are abundant in this corner of the universe. Sometimes it s delivering a #18 PMD sparkle-dun on a 16- foot leader, tapered down to 7x tippet, from an aluminum pram on picturesque Fall River. Other days it s high-sticking a big ugly #6 Kaufmann rubberleg stone under a 7.5-foot 5x leader on the lush banks of the McCloud River. No matter how you slice it, opportunities (and trout) lurk in these waters. Dick has hand picked his guide staff from a wide-range of experience and backgrounds, all employing a common denominator of patience and professionalism. He knows that a slow catching day, spent with a fun, outgoing, and educational guide is better than a high fish-count day with the cast here type. These guys will see to it that your day is as productive and pleasurable as possible, never loosing sight of your needs. Clearwater House is an eighty-year old stucco farm-house which Dick brought through extensive remodeling and now offers seven bedrooms, each with a private bath. Beautiful fish prints, antique furnishings, and oriental rugs adorn Clearwater s walls and rooms, which the staff keep spotless and running smoothly. A friendly fireplace with receptive couches and chairs welcomes your return from the day s fishing adventures, or you may choose to stroll through the garden taking in views of the surrounding mountains. When it s time for dinner, you won t be left unfulfilled. The food at Clearwater House is prepared by a cook who understands fishing builds hearty appetites and is served family-style at a big, cherry dining table.

The Bonefish Bay Club of South Andros is located 15 minutes from the South Andros Airport in the southern section of the island and is a short distance from some of the finest bonefishing on the planet earth. Literally hundreds of square miles of bone-white flats offer our guests unlimited opportunities to challenge some of the largest and most cooperative bonefish anywhere. Each day, our guests select to fish nearby creeks or the vast ocean flats of the East, South and West Coasts. Breakfast is early, dinner is late, and in-between is some of the best fishing imaginable. The lodge has 9 clean and comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, each recently refurnished and all with full bath with showers. Situated in a very quiet area and right on the ocean, a short and refreshing swim from our wonderful beach can follow a successful day on the flats, or the deep blue water of the open ocean. Daily housekeeping is provided and laundry service is available as well. Our Bonefish Bay Club is blessed with the most experienced guides on the island. This team of 9 professionals represent, collectively, over 90 years of experience fishing and guiding on the creeks and ocean flats of South Andros. They know the tides, the winds, and the temperatures affecting our underwater world and you will be comforted to know that the individual on the back of your skiff pointing to two, 10 pound bones 200 feet away takes his job very seriously. Your daily options are plentiful, varied, and wonderful. They could include the following: The South Bight Regarded as one of the more scenic areas on the island, the South Bight has deeper channels and, as it is closer to the ocean, is home to some of the larger fish in the area as well. Bonefish are fewer in numbers here, but, with its combination of bone-white flats, turquoise and emerald waters, fishing The Bight is a most memorable experience. Deep Creek Just moments from the lodge, Deep Creek quickly opens to a 6-mile wide bay dotted with dozens of small islands, or cays . This area is the perfect spot for those wishing a longer day on the flats and, as it s more protected an area, is the place to be if wind is a factor as air is, generally, nearly motionless on the leeward sides of many of these cays.
