Excellent
Recommended Fly Patterns:
Baetis, Rubber Legs, Zebra Midge, Worms, Streamers.
Fishing Conditions:
For those adventurous enough to make the trip, the Lost can produce some large fish this time of year. There will be some baetis and midge hatches during the warmest parts of the day, however nymphing or fishing streamers is going to produce the most fish. With low water flows, make sure to employ a stealthy approach as to not spook any fish. Cover lots of water and look for deep holding water.

Closed until Friday before Memorial Day.

Flow:
131 CFS
Clarity:
Good
Recommended Fly Patterns:
Midges, Baetis, Rubber Legs, San Juan, Zebra Midges, Pheasant Tails, Streamers,
Fishing Conditions:
With the recent Bigwood closure, fishing access in the valley is limited; however the Little Wood could be a good option to sneak away from the crowds on Silver Creek. The warmer weather in past weeks has certainly turned on the fishing. Fishing baetis and midge patterns should turn a few heads on top. Nymphing or using small streamers in the deeper water will also produce some nice fish.

Clarity:
Excellent
Recommended Fly Patterns:
Baetis, Small Streamers, Leeches, Zebra Midges, Soft Hackles, Pheasant Tails, Worms
Fishing Conditions:
While the Nature Conservancy is closed, fishing is still open downstream of the Kilpatrick Bridge. During the warmer parts of the day, you may run into some Baetis and midge hatches, but otherwise all fishing will be subsurface. Swinging smaller streamers or soft hackles will be your best bet.

Recommended Fly Patterns:
Streamers, Leeches
Fishing Conditions:
With the warmer weather we have experienced this winter, fishing in reservoirs such as Magic has been good. Streamer fishing will bring you the most success. Access may be tough with muddy roads.
