Lost Creek is at 1,857 ft and rising. The Takelma boat ramp is open. The Stewart/marina ramp is also open now according to the county.The water temperature at the surface is 45F.

Lost Creek offers very good opportunity for spring trout fishing with 20,000 legal-size trout scheduled for this week. Holdover trout are currently spread out. Trollers can have very good success at Lost Creek using a variety of gear: Apex lures, Brad's cut plug lures with scent, Panther Martin spinners, red hoochies, and wedding rings. Black and gold can also be a solid color choice. Most fish are in the 13 to 17-inch range.

Trout can be caught at a variety of depths from the surface down to about 50 feet. Lures are often fished behind dodgers, and can be spiked with corn, worms or PowerWorms -- 3/4oz is a good choice for weight.

Lost Creek also offers good bank fishing access, and fishing on both sides of the dam can be very effective using PowerBait.
