Lost Creek's current elevation is about 1,863 feet. The surface temperature is 47F. The Takelma and Stewart boat ramps are available for access by trailered boats.
Lost Creek was stocked with legal-size trout in time for Spring Break. Lost Creek is scheduled to be stocked again this week, but anglers please note that the trophies will not be stocked this year. These fish are needed to make up losses in hatchery trout production this year.
Trollers have had good late winter success at Lost Creek on holdover trout using a variety of gear: Apex lures, Brad's cut plug lures with scent, red hoochies, and wedding rings. Trout have been caught at the surface and down to about 50 feet with a downrigger. The lures are often fish behind dodgers, and can be spiked with corn, worms or power worms. 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.
