Twin Lakes Fishing Guide, Saint Croix County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Set in Saint Croix County, Twin Lakes is a Wisconsin water. This is rolling bush country. With some 94 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. There is roughly 1.5 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The town to know is Roberts, 1.7 miles out. Saint Paul is the closest city, 25 miles away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Twin Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across Saint Croix County include brown trout, rainbow trout, common carp, bluegill and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Twin Lakes fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 12°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early April. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Twin Lakes regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Shank Lake is 3.8 miles distant. Check the position at Twin Lakes before loading the car.
