11-acre lake in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 18 ft.

Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Little Lost Lake runs 11 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern.

Come spring, look for cutthroat trout tight to the bank in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 18 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 18 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 18 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 18 ft, and winter fish hold in 4 to 18 ft.
