What Lost Lake is stocked with
Lost Lake is a mid-sized lake in Florence County, Wisconsin, covering about 83.8 acres with roughly 1.4 miles of shoreline on the USGS map. Stocking rows on this page name brown trout and rainbow trout. Check the size column in the table for how big the fish were when released.
Brown trout are warier than rainbows; worms, minnows or a minnow-shaped stickbait fished early or late in the day give the best odds. Rainbow trout respond to worms, salmon eggs or kernel corn, and small inline spinners cover water quickly. On a small water like this, much of the shoreline is within casting reach, so walk and try several spots.
If you want a second stop, Fay Lake, Halsey Lake and Long Lake are among the nearest waters we list. Wisconsin DNR sets the season and limits here; check its rules before you go. Signed-in users can watch this water for an email when it is stocked again.
