Lost Lake is a lake in California, near El Dorado County.
The 3.1-acre Lost Lake in El Dorado County is a lake in California and covers about 3.1 acres.
On a water as small as this water, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check both sides of the point.
Fish listed for this water include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout; use a slow bait after the search lure, then check both sides of the point.
Start the rainbow trout search on Lost Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; start near the best mix of cover, then fish the same shape nearby.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; try firm bottom before soft silt, then use wind to narrow the search.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; keep the presentation close to useful cover; match lure size to the visible food, then make short moves after each pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; fish where rock meets mud, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
