Lost Creek Reservoir is a winter trout fishing hot spot in the Rogue Valley, with the vast majority of water users being anglers this time of year. Many more large trout are being stocked in Lost Creek than in past years as a result of data from recent trout tagging studies.

Boat anglers in winter can have success trolling along the dam, around the exposed island near the Takelma boat ramp, and shallower areas of the main reservoir. Trolling a green wedding ring through the Lost Creek arm reportedly worked well over the weekend and boat anglers fishing PowerBait have caught 10- 15 fish in a couple hours. Bank anglers have good success on either side of the dam, but are reminded to not block access to the Takelma boat ramp.

Both the Takelma boat ramp and Marina boat ramps are available. The reservoir surface temperature is 42F. For the most current Lost Creek Reservoir information, call 1-800-472-2434.
