• Where to Fish on Upper Twin Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for District Municipality of Muskoka cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Upper Twin Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lower Twin Lake, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Upper Twin Lake.
