• Where to Fish on South Twin Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Becker County, recorded fish include bluegill, largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. South Twin Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 68°F and January near 4°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish South Twin Lake.
