Lost Creek's current elevation is about 1,806 feet, slightly below the normal flood season pool level. The Takelma boat ramp is open but the Stewart/marina ramp is closed. The water temperature at the surface is 54F

Lost Creek offers very good opportunity for winter trout fishing. 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 fished 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.
