Lost Creek is 1.5 feet below full pool, and the surface temperature is 57F. Both boat ramps are open and available.
Lost Creek is producing rainbow trout throughout the reservoir, and larger holdover trout continue to be caught. The lake received 10,000 legal-sized trout and 1,500 pounders in the last week. Trollers are having very good luck. Lost Creek also offers good bank fishing access, and fishing on both sides of the dam can be very effective using PowerBait.
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.
Bass fishing is also picking up. An angler fishing crankbaits caught smallmouth bass at Lost Creek recently.
