9-acre lake in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 36 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Lost Lake maps at 9 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 46% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Comox Valley Regional District. If the bite dies, Little Lost Lake is 1 mi to the northwest.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 36 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 16 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 9 to 36 ft | dawn | Break off the point (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
