Fish species in Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes in Douglas County is a lake in Oregon.

During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch with stable weather, use the shape you can see at Twin Lakes: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Twin Lakes include Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.

During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the first hour near an open-water edge while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near a shaded bank with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a warm summer afternoon near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop while the water is rising, spring fishing starts 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

During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side after a cold night, 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.

During the first hour near a rocky edge while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
