Twin Lakes is a lake in Washington, near Mason County.
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 Mason County is a lake in Washington and covers about 14.9 acres.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, Twin Lakes is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Twin Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.
During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf where food is present, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge after a cold night, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a warm summer afternoon near the first break where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a short evening pass near a small drop after a cold night, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a calm morning near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf before changing depth, 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.
During the final pass near a narrow cove with a moving bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a shallow-to-deep search near a shaded bank where two features meet, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a return to the best bank near the first break 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 warm summer afternoon near a creek-side turn after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
