Lost Creek Fishing Report

Lost Creek will be the primary draw for trout anglers in the Rogue watershed now through early spring. Large rainbow were stocked last week to complement fish remaining as holdovers from earlier releases. In addition, Lost Creek is the only place where trailered boats of any size can be launched. Both the Takelma and Marina boat ramps are usable at this time.

Lake surface temperatures continue to cool, and have dropped to 61F. Trout fishing should be very good, and bass anglers should continue to have good success through fall. Trolling a wedding ring spiked with a piece of worm or Gulp worm behind an oval egg sinker can produce very well at Lost Creek.

Some of the trout have external parasites called copepods. Fish parasites generally do not pose a threat to humans when fish are cooked, and copepods can be scraped off prior to cooking. Anglers are encourage to keep fish that have copepods while staying within the daily limit, since release simply allows the parasite to expand to other hosts.
