History & Status of the Fishery
Twin Lake is a 120-acre basin located about a mile north-northeast of Grey Eagle. Some maps will show the lake as three distinct basins, however the eastern most basin (location of public access) contains about 30 acres of open water and is all that's available for fishing. The rest of the basin is a mix of dense cattail and other vegetation. There is a small gravel road off Highway 28 that can be used to access the lake.
This survey used two gill nets and four trap nets to sample open-water habitat and shallow, near-shore habitat, respectively. Species found were Northern Pike (total of 10), Black Crappie (total of 47) and Bluegill (total of 158). Crappies and Bluegill were small to average in size, with lengths ranging 6.1-10.4 and 5.4-8.5 inches, respectively. Most crappies were age 5 which, being less than 10 inches, is considered slow growth. Northern Pike lengths ranged from 13.2-31.5 inches. Most pike exceeded 26 inches.
Due to the relatively low abundance of competing predators such as Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass and low risk of winterkill, Walleye fry will be stocked in 2022 in an effort to establish a fishery for this species.
Other species caught during this survey include (in order of abundance) Pumpkinseed, Brown Bullhead, Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Yellow Bullhead, and Golden Shiner.
