Fish species in Lost Lake

Lost Lake in the north-central part of Kittitas County is a lake in Washington and covers about 9.64 acres.

During the final pass near a shaded bank where two features meet, the small size of Lost Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lost Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During the first hour near the first break near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

While using a small search around the first point near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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 short evening pass near a small drop 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 cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water after a cold night, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
