South Twin Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  South Twin Lake belongs to Thunder Bay District, Ontario. It sits at 255 metres above sea level. It is pond-in-a-field scale, with the far bank a short lob away. On size it sits at the modest end of our Thunder Bay District list. Terrace Bay lies 17 km from the water. Further out sit Schreiber (28 km) and Manitouwadge (99 km). The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on South Twin Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat South Twin Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -11°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on South Twin Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Mud Lake, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for South Twin Lake in what we hold.
