Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
There are two routes, but don't get confused as many folks do by ending up in the Consumnes at I5, Lost slough is above that. If you go straight up the South fork of the Mokelumne, from Tower Park, you will need to veer left towards the North Mokelumne and go up above Locke to LOST Slough. If you pass Whimpy's AND New Hope, yer heading to the Consumnes. The other option is to take the North Fork out of B&W and follow it all the way up to Lost Slough. There's an intersection there that is really confusing if'n yer not familure with the area.
I don't know the coordinates, but the towns of Locke, Thorton and Twin Cities Rd, will triangle triangle Lost Slough for you.

38.18.00 lattitude

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
you should be asking directions to Pilot Slough, there aren't any good fish in Lost Slough.

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
Hey Zippers if ya need a back seater to show you the way let me know. I have been there many times and it can be a little confusing finding the way.
Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
this should be it if the fish-n-map is correct and if I read cooches directions correctly

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
Zippers,
Sactojohn already gave you the backseat alternative for directions,
so I will just remind you folks that they made alot of that area a 5mph zone some years back and it is not clearly marked.

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
That's a LONG 5mph zone and the fishing just isn't that great. I've fished up there many times, all the way to the I-5 bridge and caught lots of small fish. Also caught catfish, crappie and small stripers. Its one of those places that "Looks Great" but as far as livewells are concerned, it's "Less Filling"! Also, don't be tempted to get on pad because there's nobody around in Lost Slough. There are a few dead trees and big limbs laying just below the surface in the middle in some places.
Good luck if you go!
BTW - the nearest lauch ramp is Whimpy's but you better use a buddy's old beat up truck to launch. Leave it unlocked so they don't have to break the window to get in. They've had some theft problems. Also, the current screams through this ramp so you better be good at trailering your boat in a strong "cross breeze".

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
Don't use Wimpy's ramp as it uneven and hard to load back om with the current. Go next door to New Hope, same price and better ramp with a long dock to tie up.
Becareful in that 5 mph zone as there were 2 ( two ) sheriff boat back there last week. If they see any white water behind you, they'll tag you for too fast.

Re: GPS or Where is LOST SLOUGH
That's what I thought at first too. But, there are good fish in Lost Slough. The first few times I went I was only catchin' lil perch. I was about to give up. Then I caught a few small catfish and a lil black bass. Then the catfish started getting bigger and more frequent. I cought quite a few nice size catfish...Fatties. Then one day I had a big one on. It was a fighter...worked on the ol' elbow a bit...It was a striper! I think the weight and lenth I got when I measured it was 33.5 inches and 14.5 pounds! I wanna say 35 inches and 15 lbs but you know how after a while of tellin' a story the size gets rounded up and a lil bigger than it really was.
