Fished Lost creek for a few hours this morning. For me this reservoir has always been tough to crack with the fly rod. I had no problem catching numerous chubs (first time I've seen this many), and the occasional planter bow on the fly rod. There appeared to be large schools of chubs across from the boat ramp in the Francis canyon arm.
Water temp was warm at 67 degrees and it looked like most of the cutts were below 40 feet. Even fishing with full sink line I had a hard time getting down to them. Got frustrated and took out my spinning rod and began jigging a white tube. It was non-stop action after that. I'd love to figure out a way to successfully target these deep fish on a fly - any suggestions would be appreciated. Also have never been able to catch a tiger there.
It looks like Lost Creek has now also become popular with the paddle boarding crowd. Around 10 it became quite crowded. I guess everyone is looking for a way to beat the heat and stay covid free!
