Heres the deal with lost creek. The DWR has allowed you to catch fish year round on that lake. This is why there is no closure in the proclamation. However, it is a state park. The state parks department has closed the state park from november to may. The supposed reason for this is the state parks dept doesnt want to hassle with going up there and collecting money or dealing with any other issues up there. The parks dept got with the morgan county sherrif dept and niether of them wants the park open during the winter. So, what you run the risk of is a tresspassing ticket. But, you are allowed to fish and catch your legal limit. But the park is closed, so if you run into the county cops, or parks people, you may get a tresspass ticket, but if you run into the fish and game, they will tell you to park outside the gate, walk up the hill and fish. That said, I found a few hours to fish this morning before funeral stuff, so I went up there. The fishing was very fast. Fish were all over in the water column, so you would get fish on before your line hit bottom, or if you were lucky enough to get it down there, one would have it within a minuet or two. A few hours went by and I heard my name yelled from the top of the hill, it was rainbow sparkle. Fished a bit more, and came home. Same old story, summer or winter, planter size is the rule. White was the color. You can bet when I am done here, I will be sending an e-mail to the parks dept. I pay for my pass, that gate should be open.
