The Takelma ramp is currently the only ramp open and usable. 

Lost Creek received 15,000 legal and 800 “pounder” rainbow trout this week.  

The Marina and Joseph Stuart State Park are now managed by Jackson County Parks. The Marina and Store are scheduled to open April 15!  Day use fees for this facility apply. If you’re a frequent user here, a Jackson County Parks season pass is $40 and covers so many other local Rogue Valley fishing destinations, as well.

Good techniques here include trolling a wedding ring spinner tipped with a nightcrawler and weighted with an egg shaped in-line sinker, or a trolling spoons. Still fishing is good with PowerBait off the bottom or better yet, a worm suspended with a small piece of marshmallow as the float.  

The lake is 72 percent full with an elevation 1,837 feet and 45-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. Last updated 4/14/21.
