Twin Lake Fishing Guide, Iron County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Twin Lake lies in Iron County, Wisconsin. It sits at 1,657 feet above sea level. The water covers some 33 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Wisconsin listings. For a base, Hurley sits 17 miles out. It is 154 miles to Thunder Bay, the nearest city. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Iron County, recorded fish include walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Twin Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 10°F to 65°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Twin Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Little Oxbow Lake, 1.8 miles away. Nothing on Twin Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
