  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Lost Lake fishes better once you know its edges. Rain comes to about 502 mm a year, with the wet end in July and the dry end in February.
