The water surface elevation at Lost Creek is 1,866 ft which is just seven feet below full pool, and the surface temperature is 57F. Both boat ramps are open and available.

Lost Creek offers very good opportunity for spring trout fishing. Trout have been stocked in the reservoir recently, including 15,000 legal-sized rainbow trout and 800 trophy-sized fish. Holdover trout are also available.

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. 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. One angler had good success recently on a green wedding ring trolled behind a weight and dodger and baited with either white corn kernels or worm.

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