Fishing is Still Good

As conditions at area lakes and reservoirs begin to deteriorate due to low water levels, Lost Creek will continue to be a place where larger vessels can launch, and fishing is still good. Trolling from a boat will produce the best at Lost Creek Reservoir. The lake received ample stockings earlier in the spring and summer, and there are plenty of hold-over trout available. Bank anlgers will want to target areas where they can get to deep water such as along the dam or the tower. Bass will be found closer to shore for the bank angler. Trolling a flasher with trailing nightcrawler in 25-30 feet of water will be most productive from a boat. Spinners, wedding rings and spoons will also produce.
The Marina and Joseph Stuart State Park are now managed by Jackson County Parks. Day use fees for this facility apply. If you’re a frequent user here, a Jackson County Parks season pass is $40 and covers many other local Rogue Valley fishing destinations, as well.
The lake continues to drop and is 47 percent full, with an elevation of 1,817.8 feet and 77 degree surface temperature.
Anglers can get the latest surface temperatures by calling the US Army Corps Lost Creek Lake and Applegate Reservoir projects information line at 1-800-472-2434
