Lost Lake in Wayne County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lost Lake stands in Wayne County, Utah. The setting is rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 5 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The nearest town is Monroe, 43 miles away. Provo sits 139 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Wayne County cover Arctic grayling, bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker and brook trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Lost Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near late November in autumn. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Lost Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Bullberry Lakes, 1.3 miles out. None of that is settled for Lost Lake in what we hold.
