Nearby survey and observation records mention largemouth bass, bluegill and warmouth. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Treat Lost Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Dog Lake, 1.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Lost Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
