Lost Lake Fishing Guide, Marinette County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Look for Lost Lake in Marinette County, Wisconsin. It stands 748 feet above sea level. The water covers some 40 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Ground here is low by Wisconsin standards. Nearest place of any size is Niagara, 26 miles away. Peshtigo follows at 26 miles, then Marinette at 26 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lost Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 68°F and January near 13°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Lost Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Grass Lake, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Lost Lake carry more weight than any list.
