• Overview

  Lost Lake belongs to Prince Edward County, Ontario. The surface lies 87 metres up. With some 19 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one.

Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Prince Edward County names yellow perch, pumpkinseed, alewife and cisco. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lost Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 21°C and January at -6°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about late December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It holds true on Lost Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake on the Mountain at 12 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lost Lake locally before you travel.
