: Big Lost River: The Lost (86 cfs), like the Big Wood, will offer its best fishing midday to late afternoon and nymph/pupae dropper setups will be the best producers. Prince Nymphs, King Princes, Hares Ears and Pheasant Tails (size 16) trailed by Zebra Midges, Brassies and gray or black Midge Pupae will find their way into the mouths of Rainbows. Or try afternoon dry fly fishing with Midges and Baetis drifted drag-free on the surface. Take caution when traveling over The Pass, make sure to check the local weather report daily and opt for the longer route through Arco if you feel unsure. Reported by: Silver Creek Outfitters |

| About: -
Below Mackay Reservoir is where the Big Lost River becomes a
quality tailwater fishery. As the river flows toward the town of Mackay the
scenery changes dramatically. Present along the river are tall cottonwoods and
lush grassland. The waters in this section can be crystal clear and much of the
river is seldom wider the 20-30 feet across. Seasoned anglers favor light
tippets and many love the finesse required to fish the river. Fishing
conditions are pretty much predicated by the fluctuation in water flow. (more on fishing the
