Fishing at Lost Lake, Johnston County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Look for Lost Lake in the Johnston County part of Oklahoma. Around the bank it is open plain. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Johnston County list. Supplies mean a trip to Tishomingo, 4.1 miles off. Beyond it, Madill at 7.8 miles and Oakland at 8.3 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include redear sunfish, warmouth and Rio Grande longear sunfish. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Lost Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 40°F in January and 82°F in July. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to Lost Lake around it. Wind direction changes which bank is worth fishing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Dicks Pond, 3 miles away. The position on Lost Lake is worth confirming on the day.
