Big Lost River

Tricos emerge during morning hours, BWOs in the afternoon, and midges go on all day. Add terrestrial insects, and the river offers good fishing even though flows are above normal at 300 cfs coming out of Mackay Dam. October is perhaps the best month to fish the Big Lost River below Mackay Dam, so consider a trip here to enjoy great fishing and terrific scenery.
