Twin Lakes in Luce County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Twin Lakes in Luce County, Michigan. Height above sea level is 715 feet. The water covers some 98 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all.

The big place round here is Green Bay, 173 miles distant. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Luce County include yellow perch, white sucker, walleye and pink salmon. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Twin Lakes a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 16°F in January up to 65°F in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Break-up sits around mid April on average, with the water closing again about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Twin Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Twin Lake Boat Launch provides a boat ramp about half a mile away. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. If the gate is shut, Macki Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Twin Lakes carry more weight than any list.
