Water quality is poor. Lost River is open year-round with bait allowed. Good access points are at Big Springs Park in Bonanza and at Crystal Springs bridge and boat ramp. Fishing for yellow perch is your best bet. Aquatic vegetation can be quite abindant this time of year. Fishing for largemouth bass should be slow around the Big Springs Park area.
