Lost Creek's current elevation is about 1,807 feet, slightly below the normal flood season pool level. Expect water levels to rise with the this week's rain, however. The Takelma boat ramp is open but the Stewart/marina ramp is closed. The water temperature at the surface is 57F on Oct. 30.
Some very nice rainbow to 16 inches have been caught in the upper reservoir between the marina and the bridge in recent days.
Trollers can have very good success at Lost Creek using a variety of gear: Apex lures, Brad's cut plug lures with scent, red hoochies, and wedding rings. Trout can be caught at a variety of depths from the surface down to about 50 feet. Lures are often fish behind dodgers, and can be spiked with corn, worms or power worms.
Copepods are often present. The fish are safe to eat when cooked, and the copepods can be scraped off. Bank fishing on both sides of the dam can be very effective using PowerBait.
Anglers can get the latest reservoir details by calling the US Army Corps Lost Creek Lake and Applegate Reservoir projects information line at 1-800-472-2434.
