Walleye catch has declined since 2010, with the average Walleye caught measuring 17.2 inches in length. Since 2007,Yellow Perch numbers have declined considerably in South Twin, concurrent with an increase in Northern Pike numbers. South Twin supports an abundant Bluegill population, however few fish larger than 8 inches were captured. Black Crappie abundance increased significantly compared to past surveys, but most fish were less than eight inches long. Largemouth Bass caught averaged 12.6 inches in length, but fish up to 20 inches long were captured.
South Twin Lake is included in the Sentinel Lakes monitoring program, a statewide effort to track future changes in Minnesota's Lakes. To help protect the status of South Twin in the future, lakeshore and watershed property owners can apply land management practices such as exceeding setbacks for structures and septic systems, leaving buffer strips of natural vegetation along the shoreline, leaving vegetation stands intact, and not fertilizing lawns. These efforts play a significant role in maintaining a hearty and diverse fishery.
