Lost Creek Reservoir w/pics

[gofish435]

I fished Lost Creek yesterday in my kick boat from 8:00 until 3:00 using fly gear. I fished the boat ramp arm of the reservoir out to the main body. I used a fast sinking line (#7) and size 4-6 crystal buggers and some of [#0000ff][/#0000ff]TD's green meenie patterns in a size 6. I did not hook a fish until after 10:00 but ended up with three rainbows and seven cutthroats. One rainbow and one cutthroat were below the slot limit and all the rest were 16" - 18" long. Most of the fish were hooked in water 18' - 25' deep. The water temperature was 41-42 degrees and the visibility in the water was about 8'. The reservoir level is 59% full, about normal for this time of year. There were several boats on the water and about a dozen bank tanglers. The road in was snow packed when I arrived but was mostly just muddy when I left at 3:30.

It was a great Black Friday, the weather was warm and no wind.
