Lost Lake

Lost Lake is a Wisconsin lake located in Forest County and the numbers attached to this water are about 75 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

The first things worth knowing

I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense by checking shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

What the current record shows

The species currently tied to Lost Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

How I would fish it

For somebody fishing Lost Lake for the first time, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
