Across Lennox and Addington County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Lost Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

  Average temperature peaks around 21°C in July and bottoms out near -7°C in January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish Lost Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Odessa Lake at 8.4 km is the sensible second choice. For Lost Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
