Title: Lost Lake by Rimrock
Post by: Austrian Hunter on May 23, 2009, 01:50:41 PM: Hi Guys,
I want to take my kids up Lost Lake to do some trout fishing, does anyone have an ideas how fishing is up there?? :dunno: I never been up that way, is it kids friendly? Just looking for a place to fish around Yakima for me and my kids, not to serious. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Austrian Hunter

You'll hit the main road-can't remember the number-take a left then a quick right and drive up to the lake. If you can avoid the Memorial Day weekend, it's a great place for kids to fish. My son and I hit it regularly before we can start getting into the back country lakes. Good lesson, too, for kids and how not to treat a lake-lots of trash left ostensible by people who love the outdoors. WDFW planted 5k fish in it, Clear got 8K this week.

The day use area on the N. side of the lake would be cool for kids, we go there a lot even in the fall and winter when it's closed.

We went up Lost Lake on Sunday, we got there really early and my kids got yelled at by some rude campers, the place was just overloaded with camps, my kids didn't even make any noise the people up were just plain out rude. We left just 30 min after we got there and I took them to Clear Lake. We camped overnight had an absolute blast, but no fish :'( My kids still had a ton of fun, it was their first overnight camping trip :IBCOOL:

Thank you all for your kind suggestions!!!!!!!!!!
