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.
