Lost Lake...
« on: March 27, 2010, 01:44:21 PM »

so while running this morning past Lost Lake, In Munday Park, Coquitlam I happened to stop by the south end of this lake and to my surprise, noticed several fish jumping near the edge of the greenery. the largest i guess to be around 8-10 inches. now i never really would have guessed there was a population of fish in this lake? but apparently there is.

does anyone know what kind of fish are in Lost Lake? (i'm guessing White Fish) and has anyone actually fished this tiny lake before? seeing those fish jumping has now got me curious... thanxs for your replys :)

Regs?

lost and mundy lake are not mentioned in the regs ::) i guess that means standard area 2 regulations yes?
i think i have seen that fly fishing man as well  8)

i remember as a kid (6ish) seeing two old men fishing at Lost Lake.
someone once said there was bass in lost lake, but i dont believe that myth. if there was, we would have heard about it by now. i hope there are no bass in there. it would ruin the ecosystem. but i could see carp or catfish or whitefish in there.

lol i guess the only way to find out is to go there one of these days and try 8) good old worms and bobbers have got to work if there are any fish left in there. lol or maybe we should rally and get a few trout stocked into these lakes ;D :D for the kid's sake of course  ::)

I remember fishing Mundy Lake once upon a time ago with a worm and bobber and catching catfish after catfish, all of which were about 8inches or less.  That was about 20 years ago, but I wouldn't imagine that it'd be any different.

now you got my hopes up. now i have to go and try (and regress to a kid) one of these next weekends 8)

ps, since neither lake (read:pond) in the park is mentioned in the fishing guidebook regs, i presume the two small lakes just fall under the regular area 2 regulations? right?

I remember people casting to the jumps and splashes in the lake myself (years ago)
Excuse me sir, are you fishing for frogs?

I dont know about Lost lake, but i was fishing mundy lake this evening and was disappointed. A while back i was walking by and asked a couple anglers what they were catching. They said bass and i was excited. All I caught tonight were Black Crappy. I was surprised to catch them but they were quite abundant and I can see how someone not familar with the fish would mistake them for something else. I may try Lost lake tomorrow and see what is there.

Ps. The crappy will hit anything. I was using a small gold and silver spoon.

Remember as a 5yr kid going to that lake... we're talking 50 yrs ago !!! Coquitlam still had lots of bush where today there are lots of homes in that general area...

It was in it's very natural state then...basically a small trail leading to it & to Mundy Lake.
 Don't remember what fishing was like but some one built a small wood raft & diving board so it was a good place to cool off !!! (Lost Lake)
But all sorts of deer frogs snakes black bear racoon bobcat etc...
