Lost Creek's current elevation is about 1,815 feet or 45 percent full and slowly dropping. The Takelma and Stewart boat ramps are available for access by trailered boats. Crowds have dropped allowing anglers to enjoy the very good fall-winter trout fishery provided at Lost Creek.

Trollers have had good success at Lost Creek on holdover and stocked 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. Copepods have been reported on trout recently. The fish are safe to eat if the copepods are scraped off and the fish are cooked to the recommended temperature. Otherwise, please release the fish un-harmed as they will like survive.

Bank fishing on both sides of the dam can be very effective using PowerBait. Stocked spring Chinook are also available but they will be deep and mostly found around Peyton Bridge.

Bass fishing has been good at Lost Creek. Bass have been caught on ned rigs, wacky rigs, and a Texas rigged Senko.

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.
