Fishing Twin Lakes in Renfrew County, Ontario

• Overview

  Renfrew County, Ontario, is where Twin Lakes sits. Elevation runs to 228 metres. At about 24 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The whole outline is near 4.0 km, and most of it is walkable. It lies lower than most water we list in Ontario. Nearest town is Deep River, 13 km off. Chalk River is 18 km away, with Petawawa at 36 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Renfrew County cover smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Twin Lakes gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -13°C to 19°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Expect Twin Lakes to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Moffat Lake is 1.9 km distant. Confirm before you fish Twin Lakes.
