History & Status of the Fishery
Twin Lake is in ecological lake class 32 and is located approximately six miles north of Goodland, in the Mississippi River Watershed. The lake is 133 acres and has a maximum depth of 35 feet. A survey targeting nearshore fish species was conducted by Area staff on 30 June, 2015. Ten sampling sites (100 feet long) were evenly spaced around the lake shore, sampling a variety of habitat types. Each site is sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 50-ft or 15-ft 1/8th inch mesh seine, depending on habitat condition.
Shoreline seining was conducted at six of the 10 sites; the 15-ft seine was used at five sites and the 50-ft seine could only be used at one. Site conditions prevented the use of seining at four sites, primarily due to steep shores and logs. Backpack electrofishing was completed at all 10 sites. Nearshore sampling captured a total of 9 different species; 6 species by seining and 5 species by backpack electrofishing. The species can be found in the gear-specific catch tables in this report.
Nearshore catches will be used with the gill net and trap net data from the standard survey conducted on 22 June, 2015, to calculate a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score which is indicative of lake health. The surveys will assist the watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency.
