Finally made it up to Lost lake for the first time this year.Got a late start.I recently got rid of my jon boat and bought a deep v 12 footer on a trailer and figured this lake would be a good place to try it out.When I finally got to the lake around noon I had to slip on my waders and go move all the logs out of the launch area.Outboard wouldnt start.Kinda funny because it ran fine in my test tank,so I flipped out the electric and headed out.Marked quite a few fish but they were mostly down way deep.Guys on the bank were doing ok but with a restriction of 1 fish over 14 inches on this lake.Its kinda worthless to use bait because you cant release them without killing a bunch,and I saw people doing just that.Whoever makes the regs in this state sure comes up with some doozies.With a 1 fish over 14 " restriction you would think not allowing bait should be added as well or just not have the rule and let people get their 5 fish and leave without killing another 10 more.Anyway the fishing was a bit slow.I caught 7-8 triploided rainbows and a couple of brook trout the biggest brookie being about 15 inches which was the only fish I kept.All caught on Firetiger Dr Minnow behind 2-4 colors of leadcore.I usually really have excellent action here like this but not so much today.

I was up there with a friend's portaboat about 3 weeks ago. It was shocking how many trees were down at the launch end of the lake. I saw it as completly impossible to launch a boat. I'm not sure how you did it. It seemed at the time like it was 50' from shore before the logs ended.

I agree a totally stupid rule that creates more law breakers. They are planting 1014 triploids a year in that lake. It is a total waste of a resource as I doubt any of them holdover. Why plant all those fish, and allow people to take only one at a time? This is not going to help the Brook trout or Kokanee populations any either. They should cut the plant to 250 and spread those fish out somewhere else with those rules. Or like you said, make it no bait! Thanks for the report.
