Water is low but can still launch at the ramp. Lost Creek out of the dam has only a very little public access. Private access for much of the stream. Get permission or plan on a visit with the Morgan County Sheriff. Enjoy the wild turkey flocks along the road from the cement plant to the reservoir. Look out for deer and an occasional elk.
Fishing was good last week in the boat ramp arm. Gets windy about 12 noon or 1 pm. I picked up 14 rainbows and cutts between 12:30 pm and 5 pm. Sinking line, the usual streamers: mohair leech, California Leech and Canadian Brown Mohair Leech. Fishing friend did well with Rickard's Fiery Brown Seal Leech. Fished from my pontoon.
I netted 2 cutts at the top of the slot limit: one 19+ inches and another that might have been stretched to 22 inches. It wasn't quite there but will be soon. Both a pleasant surprise. No Tiger trout taken.
I also trapped 23 crayfish with fish flavored cat food. Let them go as I wasn't ready to deal with them. Just wanted a few for size and color to provide a pattern for tying. Boiling pot will go with me the next time.
See you this week? Fat guy with straw hat, no sun block and Blue Scadden pontoon. CB radio on channel 2
