Fishing at North Twin Lakes, Carbon County, Wyoming

• Overview

  North Twin Lakes is one of the Carbon County listings for Wyoming. Everything around it is lake country bush. About 3 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Carbon County standards. Nearest place of any size is Saratoga, 30 miles away. Laramie follows at 34 miles, then Rawlins at 59 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on North Twin Lakes

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Carbon County, recorded fish include brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. North Twin Lakes gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 52°F and February near 20°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. After late May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice usually gives way near late May, and forms again about mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. North Twin Lakes runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Snow Bank Lake sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Where North Twin Lakes is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
