Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Twin Sisters Lakes include Rainbow Trout.

On an overcast morning near the first break with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During the first hour near a channel bend with a slow lure, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

On a steady fall day near a quiet corner with a slow lure, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using a quick look at firm bottom near a rocky edge in clear water, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

On a bright afternoon near a narrow cove with stable weather, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
