Lost Creek's current elevation is about 1,816 feet or 47 percent full and dropping. The Takelma and Stewart boat ramps are available for access by trailered boats. Crowds will drop since Labor Day has passed, 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.

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.
