Fish species in Twin Lake

Twin Lake is a lake in Guadalupe County, New Mexico, and covers about 9.4 acres, reaches about 6.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 35.9 acre-feet.

The small size of Twin Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Twin Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Twin Lake include Green Sunfish.

How to Read the Water

To narrow down Twin Lake, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

To begin fishing Twin Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

While fishing Twin Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

On Twin Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, 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.
