The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lost Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -16°C in January and 17°C in July. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lost Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Gray Lake at 0.6 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lost Lake locally before you travel.
