Lost Creek Reservoir Fishing in Morgan County, Utah

• Overview

  Set in Morgan County, Utah, this is Lost Creek Reservoir. Beyond the shoreline you have mixed forest. This is sizeable water at about 365 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. The edge covers about 6.3 miles, enough to hold several distinct areas. The closest town, Morgan, is 18 miles away. The big place round here is Salt Lake City, 39 miles distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lost Creek Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Survey and observation records for Morgan County include mountain whitefish, brown trout, mountain sucker, rainbow trout and bluehead sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lost Creek Reservoir gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 21°F and July at about 63°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Lost Creek Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. A slipway is marked about 0.9 miles from here. There are toilets half a mile off. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Saleratus Reservoir Number 3, 9.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Lost Creek Reservoir in what we hold.
