Twin Sun Lakes Fishing in Oakland County, Michigan

• Overview

  The Oakland County end of Michigan holds Twin Sun Lakes. Country round the bank runs to mixed forest. With some 38 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Walled Lake sits 1.6 miles from the bank. Wolverine Lake is 1.9 miles and Wixom 2.1 miles. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications. The country round the bank is quiet, with little traffic on the road in.

• Where to Fish on Twin Sun Lakes

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Twin Sun Lakes that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 71°F in July and bottoms out near 22°F in January. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The lid usually goes in late March, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Open water usually runs from late March until about mid December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Twin Sun Lakes runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. You can launch from a ramp around half a mile away. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Loon Lake, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Twin Sun Lakes are worth checking on the day.
