Lost Creek Fishing Report

Lake surface temperatures continue to cool, and have dropped to 70F. Anglers targeting trout will still need to fish deeper water near the dam, or fish in the vicinity of the Hwy 62 bridge. Trolling a wedding ring spiked with a piece of worm or Gulp worm behind an oval egg sinker can produce very well at Lost Creek.

Some of the trout have external parasites called copepods. Fish parasites generally do not pose a threat to humans when fish are cooked, and copepods can be scraped off prior to cooking. Anglers are encourage to keep fish that have copepods while staying within the daily limit, since release simply allows the parasite to expand to other hosts.

Fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass should be good.

Corps facilities on the upper Rogue and at Lost Creek Reservoir, closed earlier due to fire concerns, are now open. The Marina and boat ramp are also open.
