9-acre lake in Lincoln County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 32 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Lost Lake runs 9 acres with 0.5 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 40% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. You'll find it in Lincoln County. The nearest mapped water is High Lake, 1 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: largemouth bass in 2 to 10 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 10 to 32 ft for winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for largemouth bass in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 10 to 32 ft | midday | Break off the point (14 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 27 ft.
