Lost Creek - creek report

[Cowboypirate]

I watched your fishing link and it was great brought back old memories.. loved your connection to your grouse hunting I once did lots of grouse hunting up Logan way and Monte Christo.  Can't manage that hillside timber anymore. Love eating those birds.
Thanks good memories

I am gona be up that way this weekend. But I agree those hills don't get any easier each year.

It has been crazy busy starting school back up and getting my student Tiny House crew rolling again but i have been adventuring also and will try to catch up on reports...

Had a special opportunity to be up on the upper end of Lost Creek reservoir a couple weeks back. During a quick lunch break I fished the inlet stream. Was hoping to see some salmon spawning but did not see any. However small cuties were plentiful and very willing to play peek-a-boo with my Royal Wuff. Grouse and Chukers seen but not harassed. Elk were singing.

Lots of work being done in preparation to open this area of the state park to the general public. It will sure open up opportunities for us bank tanglers. 

Quick video of that section of stream. Bad news is I broke my flyrod tip off battling those little monsters. Actually twas a willow who claimed my prize rod tip.

I loved your grouse hunting video, made me realize I need to get the old scatter gun out next year. My boys need that experience as well, definitely going to give a try.

Last week I pulled my old Ithaca 20g pump out of the closet. Dad gave it to me as a teenager. It was getting lonley so we went and shared a sunrise togther. Found a dusky grouse that volunteered for the table
