Fish species in Twin Lakes

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Twin Lakes in the north-central part of Kittitas County is a lake in Washington and covers about 4.1 acres.

During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge where two features meet, the small size of Twin Lakes makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Twin Lakes include Brook Trout.

During a cold winter outing near a shaded bank with a moving bait, 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

During a low-light period near a protected point after a cold night, 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

While using a small search around the first point near a narrow cove near firm bottom, 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

During a check of nearby water near a rocky edge before changing areas, 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 a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
