Second Twin Pond in Nipissing District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  In Ontario, Second Twin Pond belongs to Nipissing District. The surface lies 325 metres up. Roughly 10 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Bank access stretches around 1.3 km in total. Mattawa is the closest town at 23 km. Greater Sudbury sits 196 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Second Twin Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Nipissing District cover smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Second Twin Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -13°C for January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Second Twin Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. First Twin Pond at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Second Twin Pond before loading the car.
