: Big Lost River: Flow out of Mackay Dam is nearly 1000 cfs ( makes for dangerous wading conditions) as water managers make room for high run-off coming into the reservoir which is ice free. Reported by: Jimmy's All Season angler |

| 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.
