Lost Lake Fishing Guide, Kelsey, Manitoba

• Overview

  Lost Lake lies in Kelsey, Manitoba. Elevation runs to 321 metres. It runs to roughly 25 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The full circuit measures close to 2.4 km on foot. Most waters listed here for Kelsey are larger. The town to know is Flin Flon, 65 km out. Creighton is 67 km and Snow Lake 73 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Kelsey records list white sucker, johnny darter and northern pike among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Lost Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -23°C to 17°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near early November in autumn. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lost Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is a pier recorded roughly 1.5 km away. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Wood Lake sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Lost Lake if anything is unclear.
