35-acre lake in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 75 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 35 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 15% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Green Lake, is 2 mi to the north.
Spring rainbow trout on Lost Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 34 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 64 ft.
