Fish species in Lost Lake

Lost Lake is a lake in Columbia County with the current lake record giving us about 1 acres and a maximum depth of 17 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.

What swims here

Species already recorded for Lost Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Lost Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
