Lost Lake Fishing Guide, Oneida County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Oneida County in Wisconsin is where Lost Lake sits. Elevation runs to 1,601 feet. Around 50 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. The full circuit measures close to 1.2 miles on foot. The town to know is Rhinelander, 8 miles out. It is 109 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lost Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Oneida County names brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work Lost Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 66°F, while January sits near 10°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Lost Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Pickerel Lake is 0.9 miles off. None of that is settled for Lost Lake in what we hold.
