• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 19°F in January up to 57°F in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lost Creek Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits
