History & Status of the Fishery
North Twin Lake is located approximately 6 miles south of Aurora. It has a surface area of 66 acres and a maximum depth of 40 feet. Other area lakes in this class include Colby, Deep and Elbow. There is a gravel boat ramp with a large parking area on the southeast shore off of County Road 11. North Twin Lake has two inlets, one from South Twin Lake and one from Turpela Lake. The outlet is to the Embarrass River. The shoreline substrates along the shoreline are mostly sand. Aquatic plants grow to a depth of 5 feet. Common plants are hardstem bulrush, horsetail, yellow waterlily, and floatingleaf pondweed. Dissolved oxygen readings were poor during the 2012 survey with little oxygenated water below 6 feet. Water clarity was poorer than normal as well. Black crappie numbers in 2012 (16.1/trap net) were higher than the long term average for all assessments on this lake. Crappies were from only five year classes since 2004. Because of this, the sampled crappie fell into three general size classes: 4, 6, and over 9 inches. Crappies are known to have high variability in spawning success so seeing just a few sizes is typical. The average 5 year old crappie sampled was over 9 inches long and the largest was 11.7 inches Bluegill numbers in 2012 (6.0/trap net) were similar to the long term average for all assessments on this lake. The average bluegill sampled was 5.5 inches long and about 4 years old. The largest bluegill sampled was 9.6 inches. Northern pike numbers in 2012 (2.3/gill net) were similar to the long term average for all assessments on this lake. Pike were 19.4 inches long on average. The largest pike sampled was 32 inches long and from a trap net. Walleye were fewer in the gill nets than the long term average for all assessments on this lake. However, this was likely due to poor oxygen at the depths that the gill nets are set. Walleye catch was above average in the shallower trap nets, indicating that the water quality influenced where the walleye were spending their time. The average walleye sampled was 11.3 inches long and about 3 years old. The largest walleye sampled was 19.3 inches.
