North Twin, Vilas County (all postings)

Zero,

According to the DNR website, the bag limits are for the twin chain, which includes both lakes. The minimum is 15". As I understand the rules, you are allowed 5 eyes per day, per man but you can only take two from North and/or South Twin. The rest of your limit would have to come from other lakes.

You can lookup the rules for a specific lake on the DNR website.

I grew up on South Twin and I remember when there was no size limit and a bag limit of 5 in the early 1980s.

Good luck and tight lines.

North and South Twin are considered the Twin Chain and is considered to be one body of water.

The DNR has a link on its website to search for specific lake regulations at: http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=wdnr_fishing_regulations:home:7018848765512467

Here they state the following for North Twin: "Bag limits are for fish caught in all lakes in the TWIN CHAIN including TWIN LAKE, SOUTH"

Hi,

Please verify the daily limit this year is two over 15".

Can we take two from South Twin, put them in the cabin, then take two more from North Twin?

If we do that and take one from another spot (on two different days), can we have 10 total in the freezer?

Wishful thinking?

Thanks.

How'd the spearing go with this unusual weather?

Out earlier this morning for a couple of hours boated 7 walleyes from 14"-17" 1 female still full of spawn 2 spawned out and 4 males as a bonus 2 perch 12" with big bellies. Off hard bottom edges from 15'-27'. This warmer weather for the rest of the week should finish up on the spawners that are left, and we will be in post spawn for the weekend.

Call or email me now to reserve your guide day on the water.

walleyes are active. Only able to get out friday and today. Caught limits both days, and threw back several keepers. Cleaned 2 on friday full of spawn and 5 today with no spawn ( 3) guys. Also caught perch in 11-12 inch range. Walleyes on green/yellow floating jigs/minnows on lindy rigs.

Bill is right and I was hopeful. The whole South half of the lake is locked up. Last night the Phelps landing was closed, but not by much. I have not checked it today.

checked north again at 8:00 a.m. all the ice that's left is on the west side from in front of huetenbar to east of the rock pile all the way down to the north south channel.Lakota landing is locked in.It might not go out till sunday,but the big wind on sat will help

As of right now...literally...most of the lake is open and will be by tomorrow.

Not 1 response, wow. Doesnt anybody live in Eagle River?

Does anyone know how much ice is on the lake? And is there snow on the ground. We have a fishing and golfing trip planned for 5-16. Dont want to ice fish. Thanks

Any guesses on ice out this year? Last year was very early. Looks like this year will be very late. I wouldn't be surprised if the ice came off more than a few days before the opener.

Having a musky spearing contest on a lake like this is just plain wrong & it's done out of spite. Thats like a having a robin shoot...should never happen...Big Lake esppessialy....when I think of all the graphite repo's..Sad...

Travel is tough. Snowmobile is the only way to go. 4 inches crust, 8 inches slush, 20 inches ice. All the 3-4 inch perch you can catch. Couldn't find the nice ones and cant travel much to find them.

I would like to thank Gary and Mike at NORTHERN EDGE SPORT AND MARINE for their great service this past winter season.

I had a snowmobile that had a gas line leak and I needed an emergency repair, it was quite dangerous to continue to use it.

I first brought it to Land-O-Lakes Recreation to see if they would repair it. They would not have anything to do with it, I guess I had to have purchased it from them in order for them to look at it.

But Mike and Gary took me right in and I was up and out with in a half hour!

Thank you Gary !
