• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Comox Valley Regional District cover Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout, Chum salmon and pink salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lost Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 0°C in December and 14°C in August. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. The season on Lost Lake rarely departs from it. Wind on the bank for a day or two lifts the fishing there.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Little Lost Lake at 1.5 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Lost Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
