Fishing Lost Lake in Marinette County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  This water sits in Marinette County, Wisconsin. The surroundings are rolling bush. About 21 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. For supplies, Niagara is 28 miles out. The big place round here is Green Bay, 60 miles distant. Others within reach: Deer Lake some 0.4 miles off, 1.2 miles out stands Harwell Lake, Kahles Pond some 1.3 miles off, 1.3 miles out stands Murbou Lake and Little Spring Lake some 1.5 miles off. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Marinette County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lost Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 12°F in January and 67°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lost Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Deer Lake, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lost Lake for certain.
