Twin Lakes, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Grahamdale in Manitoba is where Twin Lakes sits. The surface lies 275 metres up. Around 19 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Bank access stretches around 2.6 km in total. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Grahamdale. Start from Arborg, 68 km down the road. For a city, Winnipeg is 148 km off. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Grahamdale records list walleye, freshwater drum and nipigon cisco among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Twin Lakes to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -19°C for January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Twin Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Stewart Lake sits 5 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Twin Lakes before loading the car.
