I went upstream further than I had ever gone and discovered an amazing part of the river. It seriously has some of the best runs, pools and pocket water I've ever seen. Not to mention the scenery in that section; the river runs right at the base of these gorgeous cliffs, and you find yourself surrounded by alot more trees. It's very majestic and feels more like a backcountry fishing spot than anywhere else on the river. Sorry there are only pictures of fish. I will take more pics of the scenery next time I go and will post a better album


It was also the first day of the season with amazing dry fly action. The bwo's seemed to be hatching non stop

Great pics. The big lost is a special place for sure... Getting me excited about my next trip that way... Its about a 5 hour drive for me, so I do not do it all that often.

Thanks for sharing.

Yea I love the Big Lost, its my favorite river actually. I'm only about 1.5 hours away so I usually go once a week if I can.

Cool read going on here; never heard of the river so gave it a Google. Woozer! I can see where the name comes from .... it just disappears!

The other one like this is the 'Little Lost River' that flows into the same 'sink soil.'

Yea it's pretty interesting. The drive up there there are several times you cross the river and its just a dry bed. Whenever I bring a friend up with me who's never fished the river before I like to joke around and tell em that's where we're fishing.
