Lost Lake near Woods Creek: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lost Lake lies within the bounds of Snohomish County, Washington. The setting is oak and grass. This is a pocket water of some 15 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. 5.2 miles away sits Woods Creek, the nearest town. After that come Sultan at 6.2 miles and Three Lakes at 7.2 miles. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Snohomish County include Chinook salmon, pink salmon, Coho salmon and largemouth bass. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Treat Lost Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 63°F; the cold one sits at 38°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Lost Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Public data records a pier about 70 yards out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lake Chaplain at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Lost Lake locally before you travel.
