• Where to Fish on Twomile Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. 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. Species logged across Chippewa County include rainbow smelt, bloater and lake whitefish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Twomile Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August runs about 64°F on average, January about 17°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Twomile Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. The water borders Vermilion Point Nature Preserve, so reserve rules are likely to apply. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Weatherhogs Lake, 1.5 miles out. Confirm access to Twomile Lake locally before you travel.
