• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name common carp, striped bass, green sunfish, channel catfish and largemouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Twin Lakes for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 46°F to 89°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Twin Lakes. A rising level after rain switches things on for a day or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. A jetty or pier is mapped about 50 yards from here. Facilities run to toilets 120 yards from the water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Lake Sahara, 6.3 miles out. What applies at Twin Lakes may have changed since it was mapped.
