• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Twin Lakes the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Read the water for ten minutes before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 40°F in January to roughly 80°F in July. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That shapes the year on Twin Lakes. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.
