Twin Lake

Waushara County is home to Twin Lake, a mapped lake and the best current size-and-depth record is about 93 acres and a maximum depth of 13 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Twin Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Twin Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
