Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Cariboo Regional District cover sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon, bull trout, Coho salmon and longnose sucker. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Lost Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 15°C and January reads -10°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lost Lake that shapes the whole year.
