• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, dollar sunfish and largemouth bass. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. The shape of Twin Lakes rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 51°F in January up to 81°F in July. The water stays warm and open throughout. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Anyone fishing Twin Lakes regularly works to that calendar. After a storm, the water clears from the edges inwards.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Long Pond sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Twin Lakes before loading the car.
