• Where to Fish on Cumming Twin Lakes

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blackbanded darter, bluegill, warmouth, chain pickerel and frecklebelly madtom. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Cumming Twin Lakes gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 78°F in July and bottom out at 40°F in January. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan any trip to Cumming Twin Lakes around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places.
