Twin Lakes near Little Rock: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Twin Lakes is a Pulaski County water, Arkansas side. The bank gives way to pine and hardwood. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. The town to know is Little Rock, 5.2 miles out. It is 5 miles to Little Rock, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Fish documented in Pulaski County include largemouth bass, longear sunfish, green sunfish, bluegill and warmouth. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The near bank of Twin Lakes is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 40°F to 82°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Twin Lakes. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Second Edition Lake is 0.4 miles off. None of that is settled for Twin Lakes in what we hold.
