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

• Overview

  You will find Twin Lakes in Dundy County, Nebraska. The water sits 3,150 feet up. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. For supplies, Saint Francis is 25 miles out. The big place round here is Greeley, 166 miles distant.

This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Reported across Dundy County: rock bass, orangethroat darter, white sucker and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Twin Lakes fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 25°F in January to roughly 75°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. At Twin Lakes the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Arrow Head Lake is 5.7 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Twin Lakes for certain.
