Lost Lake in the northern part of Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1 acres.
During a steady fall day near a quiet corner where two features meet, On a water as small as Lost Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lost Lake include Golden Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near the first break beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near the first break close to shade, Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove with light wind, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using one check of the nearest drop near a creek-side turn after a cold night, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a steady fall day near the first break before changing depth, 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
