: Big Lost River: Less than 100 cfs is flowing out of Mackay Dam making for good wading conditions, but tough weather conditions are present. Little traffic will be coming from the Ketchum-Sun Valley area because of road conditions on Trail Creek Summit. Some discolor is present in the water, but BWOs and midges are emerging, so life cycle patterns for these will work. So will woolly bugger types and nymphs in singles or tandem rigs.

| 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.
